Michael Murphy’s Golf in the Kingdom is one of the bestselling golf books of all time and has been hailed as “a golf classic if any exists in our day” (John Updike) and “a masterpiece on the mysticism of golf” (San Francisco Chronicle). Golf in the Kingdom introduced Shivas Irons, the mysterious golf pro and philosopher with whom Murphy played a mythic round of golf on Scotland’s Burningbush links, a round that profoundly altered his game – and his vision. The Kingdom of Shivas Irons is the enchanting story of Murphy’s return to Scotland in search of Shivas Irons and his wisdom about golf and human potential. Murphy’s quest takes him from the mystical golf courses of Scotland, across the world to the first Russian Open Golf Championship, and finally to Pebble Beach on the California Coast. The result is a delightful exploration of the inner game of golf and a provocative inquiry into our remarkable possibilities for growth and transformation. The long-awaited sequel to the classic tale of sport and mysticism, Golf in the Kingdom.
Nothing lasts forever. Missing Links is a testament to how ephemeral even great golf courses designed by master architects can be. It’s enough to break a hacker’s heart. In this lovely homage to what once was, Daniel Wexler identifies 47 historically significant pre-World War II courses lost largely to the needs of post-World War II development, and then proceeds to tee up their stories. Some of the courses loom as mythically large as Atlantis–Charles Blair Macdonald’s Lido Golf Club on Long Island is still considered one of the most innovative designs ever, and A.W. Tillinghast’s Fresh Meadow Country Club not only hosted the first PGA Championship, it boasted Gene Sarazen as head pro. Each of the lost gems is presented with a history filled with anecdotes, a complete diagram of the layout, a scorecard, and as many vintage photos as Wexler could fit. Most intriguing, Wexler also projects how each course might measure up today. Lido, insists Wexler, would still have golf traditionalists salivating–it would be, he surmises, “one of America’s best… Every bit as good today as the day it was born.” Amazingly, Missing Links evocatively extols dozens more nearly as worthy. –Jeff Silverman
In the wake of the stock market crash of 1929, as the shadows of depression lengthened into every corner of American life, one ray of light emerged from the world of sports: Bobby Jones. THE GRAND SLAM covers the life of this amateur golfer who mounted his final campaign against the record books, and produced a legacy of excellence that has yet to be matched: In a period of four months, Bobby Jones won the British Amateur Championship, the British Open, the United States Open and the United States Amateur Championship – and created The Grand Slam. A natural, self-taught player, Jones found true inspiration in the 1913 US Open victory of Francis Ouimet. Jones made his debut at the U.S. Amateur Championship three years later, at the age of fourteen, but it wasn’t until 1923, that he would he harness his immense talent and eclipse Francis – and every other player in the world, pro or amateur – winning thirteen major championships in the next seven years, and the now-famous 1930 Grand Slam.What the world didn’t know was that throughout his playing career the intensely private Jones constantly battled exhaustion, nearly lost his life twice and came perilously close to a total collapse. By the time he completed his unprecedented feat, Jones was the most famous man not only in golf, but in the history of American sports. In 1931, after his most successful season ever, at the age of 28, Jones retired from professional play. His abrupt disappearance from the public eye into a closely guarded private life helped create the mythological image of this hero from the Golden Age of sports which endures to this day. Supported by host of historical icons including Walter Hagen, Harry Vardon, Ted Ray, Jack Dempsey and Babe Ruth, and presidents- Wilson, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, THE GRAND SLAM is the next installment of the fascinating story that began with THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED.
From the wonderful golf cartoons published over the decades in The New Yorker, cartoon editor Bob Mankoff has culled the best for this book from the magazine’s amazing artists. George Plimpton has theorized on sports books that “the smaller the ball, the better the book”. He was commenting on literature, but this fabulous collection proves his theory true for cartoons as well. This unforgettable collection contains 100 pages of cartoons, from cartoonists, including such luminaries as Charles Addams, Roz Chast, Whitney Darrow, Jr., Edward Koren, George Price, and William Steig. The New Yorker Book of Golf Cartoons, like a whole in one, will leave you smiling.
