The game of golf has been witness to dramatic change since the
early 1980s. Technology has relegated polished wooden drivers and
wound balls covered with balata to the dustbin of history. The
world's great courses have been stretched unfathomable lengths to
counter the game's modern champions and the distances they hit the
ball. In the end, though, it still comes down to the players. Jim
Moriarty has focused his attention on the glory, sacrifice,
success, and despair of these champions. In Playing Through, he
captures the essence of this most recent, most transformative
chapter in golf's long history. He writes of the last great
rivalry: Jack Nicklaus versus Tom Watson; the rise of the European
juggernaut with Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo; the Ryder Cup
spectacles of 1999 and 2012 and the romance of team golf; the
tragic loss of Payne Stewart and Ballesteros, both gone too soon;
the emergence of the Australians, South Africans, South Americans,
and Pacific Rim players in the Presidents Cup; and the man who
ruled golf, Tiger Woods. Golf may have changed in the last
thirty-five years, but Moriarty's words show that no matter how far
the ball flies, it still pits players against themselves, the
elements, and their opponents to remain the game we all know and
love.
