How US golf Evolved from Amateur to Professional in 20 YearsBy SteveA good account of four trailblazers of U.S. golf in the 1940 - 60s; told interestingly between holes of a 1956 impromptu 18-hole best ball match between then-best active players Ben Hogan; Byron Nelson; Ken Venturi and Harvie Ward. Frost is a good golf story teller whose occasional run-on sentences could use a decent editor; but otherwise; entertaining account of a spectacular one off match and the complete life stories of four successful golfers who paved the way for fellows named Palmer and Nicklaus; and yes; the entire PGA. A must read for any serious golf history understanding. Includes a short history of the development of Cypress Point and the Monterey Peninsula.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A surprisingly delightful read for me; a non golfer.By MaryI don't play golf but my husband and son do so I read this book to be able to discuss it with them. I was surprised to find that it was a wonderful read that gave me real insight to the people who played the game for all the right reasons. I loved hearing about how some of the women influenced the game and the description of Cypress Point. It is amazing to know how the game got its start in America and how much it has improved over the years. Very enjoyable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Well-Written Non-FictionBy David HallI really enjoyed this in-depth story of some of America's greatest amateur and professional golfers! While "The Match" itself is somewhat anti-climatic; I didn't care...This non-fiction book is filled with rich; well-researched detail; and is an enjoyable read.
