5 out of 5 stars A "must-have" compendium for golf fans   December 13, 2009
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Sports Illustrated: The Golf Book is a coffee-table compendium of golf stories from the award-winning magazine Sports Illustrated. The absolutely stunning photography combined with insightful articles makes for an engaging chronology of the sport's highlights over the decades. From golf's finest and most challenging courses, to the golf legends of the past century (including Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Nancy Lopez, Tiger Woods, Annika Sorenstam, and more), to cherished artifacts and stories highlighting great moments, Sports Illustrated: The Golf Book is a "must-have" compendium for golf fans. Highly recommended.

Happy shopper (Houston, TX)
I bought this as a gift for my husband who loves it. It is a great coffee table book which is primarily excellent photos and some commentary. Anyway a great price and a great gift to keep for golf fanatics.

4 out of 5 stars A must have for collectors   November 6, 2009

The people of SI do a more than fair job on the quality of all the content of this book.
The articles, photos and the way they separate the different golf "eras" makes it a must have for all the collectors out there.
For some the price may be a little unreasonable.
