There's an incredible similarity between the mechanics of a fly
cast and the swing of a golf club. Perhaps that's why Chris
Santella, author of "Fifty Places to Fly Fish Before You Die," can
be found on the links when he's not on the stream. With "Fifty
Places to Play Golf Before You Die," Santella gives voice to his
other sporting passion, interviewing 50 people intimately connected
to the sport about some of their favorite courses around the world.
For both passionate golfers and armchair travelers, this gorgeous
full-color book presents the world's greatest golf venues, the
personal favorites of renowned players, course architects, and
other experts in the sport. From Ballyliffin, Ireland's
northernmost course, whose rumpled fairways wander along the North
Sea in the shadows of Glashedy Rock, to New Zealand's Cape
Kidnappers, perched atop dramatic cliffs some 500 feet above the
ocean, the book's beautiful photographs capture the architecture,
noteworthy holes, location, and ambiance that make these courses
standouts for ardent golfers. A brief history of each course, an
experiential account-filled with local color-from the person
recommending the venue, and trip-planning advice provide
adventurous readers with all the information they need to chip and
putt their way around the globe.
A close-up look at golf's top courses around the world, recommended
by such experts as Nick Faldo and Christie Kerr (pro golfers), Pete
Dye and Tom Doak (course architects), Brian McCallen (editor and
author), and Donald Trump
With breathtaking color photographs of each site, this is a great
gift for avid golfers and armchair travelers alike
