Formerly reserved for the elite, tennis has become a popular sport
over the years. And even if you don't play yourself, the tennis
lifestyle exerts a certain fascination. It's not uncommon at Grand
Slams like Wimbledon to find it more interesting who's watching
from the stands than who's down on the court. However, famous
tennis personalities are also a source of conversation - just
remember John McEnroe's infamous outbursts. This, the ultimate
tennis book is dedicated to the stories on and off the court, it
explains the history of the sport, shows the most important courts
and tournaments, the most exciting competitions and legendary
athletes. Tennis fashion and equipment are also covered, and who
knows, maybe after reading this entertaining tennis compendium you
will feel the need to pick up a racket. Text in English and German.
Gone are the days when golf was a quaint and old-fashioned pastime.
Back on the Olympic program since 2016, the sport has had a rebirth
like none other, with professionals like Tiger Woods and Rory
McIlroy reinvigorating the course, and celebrities from Justin
Timberlake to Bill Murray perfecting their backswing. While
traditional golf clubs such as the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of
St. Andrews are still the measure of all things, exciting new golf
courses and golf resorts have multiplied the range of destinations
for golf enthusiasts. This volume introduces the most exclusive,
sophisticated, and spectacular golf resorts in the world. These are
golfing holiday destinations that score not only with sophisticated
layouts in charming landscapes - whether against alpine mountain
scenery or tropical sandy beaches - but also with wonderful rooms,
outstanding food, and comprehensive wellness offers. Within this
perfect gift for golfers, each prestigious golf resort is presented
with an expert review, covering its benefits on and off the
fairways and greens. The sections on resorts are interspersed with
background information and amusing anecdotes, capturing the history
and contemporary world of golfing. Because as all good golfers
know, this is more than a club-and-ball sport, it is a lifestyle.
