Summary: Not just for golfers
Review: This magnificent book rewinds the clock and delivers the reader front and center for one of the greatest, rarely remembered events in sporting history. Passionately told and compelling from front to back, I really felt as if I'd been transported to places and dates I would never have experienced had I not read this book. Thanks, Mr. Frost.

Summary: Educational...
Review: This was a great book for a variety of reasons. Very good historical process of the beginning of tournament golf, both american and international. It also showed the adjustments that players made due to changes in rules and technology, just as they are in the modern era. If nothing else, it gives a greater appreciation of a great game to players of all levels...

Summary: This was great
Review: Well, I'm not much of a golfer, but I gotta say that this book rocks. I'm guessing this author combed every damn newspaper clipping and reference available from 1913....he must have lived in a library, cause he does a terrific job of recreating what these guys might have been saying and thinking. It made me feel like I was actually there....does a great job of capturing the tension of both the moment and the times.By the way, the story is unbelievable. This 20 year old kid, Francis Ouimet, a amateur golfer from Boston, takes on the best two golfers in the world and kicks butt....wins the U.S. Open! Unbelievable. I was shocked that I'd never even heard of this guy. Anyway, if you like an underdog versus the world story....sort of like Rocky or Hoosiers, this book is for you. I can't wait to see the movie.

Summary: The Greatest Game Ever Played
Review: Without a doubt the best Golf book if not the best book I have ever read. What a incredible story and a wealth of information on the history of the game both in Britian and the US. It's amazing it took so long for this incredible story to be written into a book, I cant wait for the movie to come out I only hope it is done accuratley.
