This book aims to present players and fans with everything they would want to know about golf. In an A-Z format it contains all of the serious golfing facts such as statistics and profiles of the major international players, courses and competitions, rules of the game, its history and the equipment used. The book also contains all the records that the players, clubs and officials would rather forget - the worst thrashings, the worst dressed players and the craziest rounds (including alligator attacks and lightning strikes).
