THE 100 GREATEST EVER GOLFERS
What makes a great golfer? Is it innate talent, unstinting dedication, hard graft or inner strength? Can it be measured by championships won or prize money earned? Is the perfect technique more important than an engaging personality?
Since the birth in 1860 of the Open Championship, every era of golf has produced its iconic great players, and here Andy Farrell selects his candidates for the top 100. Sure to inspire endless debate for its selection, this fascinating treasure trove of stories is essential reading for any golfer.
“A book to argue with as well as to learn from.
I recommend it wholeheartedly.”
Brian Viner,
The Independent
