Arnold Palmer's 1960 win at Cherry Hill... dramatic shots of Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Michelle Wie, and other golf superstars. The photographs are organized into five geographic regions: Northeast, South, Mid-Continent, West, and International. Accompanying essays introduce each region, examining particular images and telling the stories behind them. An essay by New York Times columnist and best-selling author Thomas L. Friedman underscores the unique qualities of the game of golf and its enduring impact upon its players and fans. From memorable moments of the game to casual portraits of legendary players, from striking landscapes of world-renowned courses to fascinating artifacts and memorabilia, Classic Shots is a unique visual treasure that will delight and inspire golfers of all ages.

Book excerpt: From the outside, it appears Billy Newman has it all. A successful businessman with a beautiful family, Billy has not only achieved his dreams of financial success, he also has realized his dream of playing golf around the world. As a sports writer for a national magazine, he has seen and experienced nearly all the world's greatest golf courses, from Pinehurst to Pebble Beach to St. Andrews and beyond. There's just one problem, but it's a big one. As successful as Billy seems, the truth is that deep down he feels like a failure. Instead of being exhilarated by his years of outward success, he has become exhausted. Frustrated, confused and lost at heart, Billy finally sets foot on the one elite golf course he has not yet visited - the gorgeous, lonely Prairie Dunes in the middle of Kansas. Tom Watson once said about the course, "It's a little bit of Scotland in the land of Oz...Like Scotland, the wind usually blows." On this impressive golf course, struggling against the land't natural challenges and his own billowing questions about life, Billy may just find, among this great inland links on this cold windy autumn day, the answers that have been eluding him. With God walking with Billy hole by hole, this day perhaps he will finally reconcile his past and find a life worth really living.
