This review is from: The Match: The Day The Game Of Golf Changed Forever Each (Hardcover)
This book brings the greatest four ball match ever played at Cypress ( or anywhere) to life. Each character is richly portrayed with early life glimpses providing the clues into their life stories.
The author places this four ball match against the back drop of the growth of golf and the emerging professionals coming onto the scene. Suggest you read about Walter Hagen at some point to get the complete story of the growth of professional golf across the world.

This review is from: The Match: The Day The Game Of Golf Changed Forever Each (Hardcover)
This is a great book. It tells the story of a golf match i'd never heard about -- and i've read a number of golf books -- and was thrilled to read about. It also gives you insight into some of the greatest names in golf: Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson (who won 11 events in a row in 1945), Ken Venturi, and Harvie Ward.
the only reason i gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is that the writing at times can be a bit tedious and indulgent. But, if you power through those excessive adjectives, it's a great story.
