Poppy Hills Golf Course

Rating:
Summary: Motivational!
Review: After playing Poppy Hills in June 2001 I found this book to be both fascinating and exciting. The book brought back both fond memories of great shots and the disapointment of not so great shots. After reviewing the pictures and learning of the history I'm already planning our next trip! I recommend this book to anyone with a smattering of appreciation for a beautiful golf design.

Summary: A wonderful book
Review: Udo Machat, who previously brought us a terrific book (The Golf
Courses of the Monterey Peninsula) about golf on this fabled
landscape, has here concentrated on one of the three courses used for
the annual AT&T Pro-Am. Poppy Hills is a tough test of golfing
skills and Machat amply displays both in story and photographs the
subtlety and dimension of this world-class course. While the photos
are not of top professional caliber, they nevertheless complement and
offer good balance to the text. The excellent forward is by the
course's architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr. I recommend this book to
anyone interested in golfing literature. It's a good read and looks
great on the coffee table.
