#2079--Men on the Bag - HC Book
Steve Newell

Read the intriguing, never-before-told story about the game’s most colorful characters – the “Tour caddies”. Their stories reveal a side of golf few have seen and all will enjoy. Their lives, experiences, and contributions are as varied as their nicknames. They have witnessed every great moment, both private and public, at Augusta National, from Gene Sarazen’s “shot heard ‘round the world” to Nicklaus winning a record of five Masters. Then in 1983, things changed forever when “Tour caddies” were allowed at the Masters for the first time. Memories of a better day live on as Ward Clayton documents a history as compelling as the game itself.

Us Against Them recounts how the Ryder Cup grew from the brink of extinction to become the most popular, compelling, and controversial tournament in golf.

More than recalling simply the play-by-play, you will be able to go behind the scenes – to the Ryder Cup tournament director whose participation almost ended in his own bloody death, to the matches in Britain that nearly ended in blows, to the prominent U.S. network golf commentator who introduced himself to a U.S. president while dressed in a large plastic garbage bag.

#2110--Classic Golf - HC Book
Walter Iooss Jr

In the 1960s, when golf was beginning to attract a national television audience, and its champions were becoming figures followed by national magazines, Walter Iooss was among the first photographers to capture the anticipation and tension, the focus and concentration, the heartbreak and victory of the world of golf. From Arnold Palmer in his prime during the 1960s, to Jack Nicklaus, who stepped up to challenge Palmer and then dominated the sport through the early 1980s, to Tiger Woods, who exploded every record set by his predecessors, Iooss covered golf during its most exciting era. In nearly 200 black-and-white and color photographs, he reveals the intensity and austerity of Ben Hogan, the charisma and humor of Lee Trevino, the swagger of Chi Chi Rodriguez, and the compact style of Gary Player. Iooss was also one of the few photographers to turn his lens on the crowd, showing us the rapt attention of golf fans.
