From the cover: "Over the last century golf has evolved from an idle pastime of the rich and privileged into an international professional sport, played and followed by millions. Great champions of the past decades — Nicklaus, Palmer and Player — have become household names, while contemporary stars such as Ballesteros, Faldo and Fred Couples are instantly recognized anywhere on the globe from their television appearances. Every day a new course opens somewhere in the world, and thousands of fresh players take up the sport every year. The Ultimate Golfer is designed to be the ideal introductory reference book for those who have just fallen under the game's spell, and the perfect advance teaching course, instruction manual and problem solver for more experienced players.

Illustrated with over four hundred step-by-step photographs of one of the world's leading teachers, the first two-thirds of the book is devoted to professional guidance on equipment selection, the grip, stance and alignment, and to detailed coaching in putting, pitching and chipping. There are additional chapters on overcoming hazards and on common errors, and this practical section is enhanced throughout by features on the top professionals.

The last third of the book is a delightful armchair journey through the sport's rich history, including biographies of the great champions, descriptions of the finest and most famous courses, and accounts of the major championships from their origin to the present day.

Comprehensively covering every element of the sport from starting out to achieving excellence, and designed for those who love the game and want to play it and understand it better, The Ultimate Golfer is the only book the truly obsessed golf fan will ever need."
