Impossible Collection of Golf

GOLF: THE IMPOSSIBLE COLLECTION By George Peper

'Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots¿ but you have to play the ball where it lies.' ¿Bobby Jones

In this most recent addition to Assouline¿s highly covetable and lauded Ultimate Collection, George Peper, former editor in chief of Golf magazine and 2016 PGA Lifetime Achievement Award winner for Journalism, takes readers on an incomparable golf journey as he travels the world detailing the 100 most significant, historically noteworthy, and architecturally paramount courses. Describing intricate holes that have confounded the game¿s best, revisiting tournaments that have made and broken champions, and elucidating the unique and truly special characteristics of each course makes Peper the perfect golf partner as he walks readers through the clubhouses, fairways, and bunkers. From greens as old and hallowed as St Andrews to courses celebrating their first anniversary such as Nova Scotia¿s Cabot Cliffs, from the island mountain course of China¿s Shanqin Bay to the Hamptons¿ Maidstone Club, Golf: The Impossible Collection is an unequivocal sensory treat for the golf fanatic, or the perfect feast to feed the wanderlust simmering in all of us.
