Book excerpt: Just in time for Father's Day and a new golf season, Classic Shots showcases the best 250 photographs of the sport from the 1920s to the present day, culled from the USGA's archive of more than half a million images. While some of these photos have appeared in print over the years, many have never been published before. Among the many highlights are a single image showing the great Bob Jones' swing sequence... Payne Stewart's 1999 U.S. Open-winning putt at Pinehurst Country Club... 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GREAT MOMENTS OF THE U.S. OPEN is a compilation of the most unforgettable chip shots, birdies and putts witnessed in the 111-year history of the U.S. Open, America's greatest and oldest golf tournament. Long-standing rivals, stalwart champions and comeback heroes go wood to iron on the green, leading to the most memorable, knuckle-biting displays of skill in the history of the majors. From American Francis Ouimet's shocking victory over top British professionals in 1913, to Jack Nicklaus' edging of Arnold Palmer in 1962 for his first Open win, to Tiger Woods' breathtaking comeback on a broken leg to capture the 2008 Open -- the gutsiest, classiest and most improbable victories are recounted here. GREAT MOMENTS OF THE U.S. OPEN contains 28 memorable victories. These include: *Billy Burke in 1931; 144 holes to defeat George Von Elm in playoff *Ken Venturi in 1964; holds on at Congressional after suffering heat stroke *Gary Player in 1965; the first international champ in 45 years *Tony Jacklin in 1970; wins by seven strokes and is the first European champ in 50 years *Tom Watson in 1982; miraculous chip-in on the 71st hole to win *Tiger Woods in 2000; dominating performance to win by 15 strokes at Pebble Beach *Rory McIlroy in 2011; sets scoring record in rout of field. For all its hushed moments and idyllic settings, golf is about passion, prowess and thrills. These 28 stories go beyond the leader boards directly to the heart of the game. Five chapters encapsulate the tournament's colourful history through its great stories. These are the victories that heralded significant changes in the sport. They are the underdogs who had to overcome injuries and sickness to become champions. And they are the comeback heroes and the dominant champs who make it look easy. The book is lavishly illustrated with stunning photographs of the championship artefacts held by the USGA Museum. Readers will also enjoy some of the world's best golf action and course photography. Complete with essays focusing on U.S. Open course design, history, international players and near misses and collapses, 'Great Moments of the U.S. Open' provides readers a unique and authoritative view on the best of America's most prestigious golf tournament.

Book excerpt: "Since 1890, golf has been deeply woven into the fabric of Cincinnati's sports culture but little is known of its colorful and famous golfers, golf courses, and related events. Golf reaches the seven hills is a collage of accomplishments, facts, and human-interest stories that all contributed to the rich history of golf in the Queen City. These important and interesting historical fragments get lost over time, unless someone commits painstakingly and selflessly to research, collate, and document them. Golf reaches the seven hills is a must for anyone who loves to play the game and/or learn about its vast history in Cincinnati"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book The Open Question written by Peter May and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golfing legend Ben Hogan went to his grave believing he had won a record five US Open titles. The USGA says otherwise, and the controversy has endured for over 75 years. In 1942, the United States Golf Association (USGA) cancelled its four golf tournaments for the duration of World War II. But then it did something different in only that year—it sponsored the Hale-America National Open on the same weekend as the cancelled US Open. The great Ben Hogan won that tournament and went to his grave believing he had therefore won a record five US Open titles. In The Open Question, Peter May turns his attention to this controversial, colorful Hale-America National Open of 1942. While providing an in-depth look at the tournament itself, May champions Hogan’s claim to five US Open titles and debunks some questionable assertions that the tournament was not worthy of a US Open. Set against the backdrop of World War II, May also tells the stories of other professional golfers in the tournament and the impact of the war on all their lives. The USGA has never recognized the Hale-America Tournament as an official US Open and remains firm in its stance. It was a decision that bothered Ben Hogan for the rest of his life. The Open Question shows how dominant Ben Hogan was against some of the biggest names in golf, and reveals why he deserves to be recognized as a five-time US Open winner.
