About this title

Synopsis:

An updated edition of a book published by Taylor in 1997, this book will not only feature all of the U.S. Open golf courses through 2008, but also include more up-to-date photography of some of the classic courses of past tournaments.

Review:

The United States Golf Association is extremely picky about the courses it chooses to host its national championship. They must provide a hard, but fair, test that rewards overall golfing excellence. Their historical traditions are rich, and their designs stunning. John Steinbreeder provides a photo-laced, anecdotally fertile guide to each of the nearly 50 layouts--from Pebble Beach to Baltusrol--that have caused more than a few competitors to break a brassie or two in sheer frustration since the first Open teed off in Newport, Rhode Island, more than 100 years ago.
