Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1958 at the inaugural World Amateur Team Championship at the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, Bill Hyndman struck a shot golfing immortal Bobby Jones called “the greatest clutch shot I have ever seen.” Three years before, the then-42-year-old, had been crushed in the finals of the U.S. Amateur Championship by Harvie Ward, the man some believed would rival Jones as the greatest amateur golfer of all time. It was the first of four losses for Hyndman in the finals of a national championship. At the time Hyndman struck that shot, he was in the early stages of a psychological battle with himself to overcome a plague of self-doubt. The fight he was in would last for decades, but with the support of his life partner, Ginny, whom he called “the best pick I ever made,” he not only persevered—he triumphed. Bill Hyndman’s story is one of life and death, fathers and sons, faith and love. Born in the year Babe Ruth hit his first home run, Hyndman endured the loss of his father at age 14, the suffering and death of his 3-year-old daughter, Patsy, and the sudden loss in WWII of the kid brother he had guided through life. Through it all he turned to his faith and the woman he loved to sustain him during the tough times and to help him fulfill the passion he had to one day win a national championship. The Hyndman story is also the story of amateur golf during the mid-20th century—a time when the great amateurs frequently matched up against Hogan, Snead, Palmer, Player, and Nicklaus. The charismatic golfer built relationships with these giants of the game but always kept family and friends first. He managed to build his golf career at a time most early rivals had faded from the scene. And when he reached the pinnacle of the game, he was already old enough to be the father of the emerging golf stars he would have to beat. He would make a habit out of surprising them all.

Book excerpt: The Golf 100 compares the records of golfers beginning with the nineteenth century and ending with contemporary pros such as Ernie Els, Tiger Woods and Nick Faldo. But how does one measure the nineteenth-century achievements of Allan Robertson, the first true professional, with that of Jack Nicklaus? The author does just that by noting the tournament records of each golfer, the level of competition and other factors such as stroke average and records in major tournaments. Substantiated with detailed biographies, little- known facts and full photographic illustration.

Book excerpt: There have been many great golfers in the last century, from Phil Mickelson and Jack Nicklaus to the latest and greatest, such as Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. But are their golfing achievements throughout their many years in the esteemed sport enough to make any of them the world's all-time greatest? In this book, American sports fans are treated with an objective and a quantitative comparison of golf players throughout history, spanning many generations. Steven Eck presents the Eck Rating System (ERS), which was initially developed for the sports of college football and basketball, and later adapted for professional golf. Factoring in finishing positions in tournaments and the strengths of each player on the green, as well as the weight of tournaments including the Masters Tournament, the U.S. Open Championship, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship, the data you will find in this book will be the ultimate and definitive proof behind who tops it all in the world of golf.

Book excerpt: Shortlisted for The Telegraph Sports Book Awards Biography of the Year 'A splendid new biography. How good was young Tom Morris? Stephen Proctor makes his case cogently. Young Tom Morris was one of the greatest of them all' - Allan Massie Young Tom Morris, the son of the legendary pioneer of golf, Tom Morris, was golf's first superstar. Born at a pivotal moment in history, just as the new and inexpensive 'gutty' ball was making golf affordable and drawing thousands of new players to the game, his genius and his swashbuckling personality would set a game that had been frozen in amber for four centuries on the pathway to becoming worldwide spectator sport we know today. Exhaustively researched and beautifully illustrated, Monarch of the Green is a stirring and evocative history of Tommy's life (which also includes, for the first time, a compilation of his competitive record in stroke-play tournaments, singles matches, and foursomes) and demonstrates how, in one dazzling decade, this young superstar dominated the sport like few others have ever done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multivolume set is much more than a collection of essays on sports and sporting cultures from around the world: it also details how and why sports are played wherever they exist, and examines key charismatic athletes from around the world who have transcended their sports. Sports Around the World: History, Culture, and Practice provides a unique, global overview of sports and sports cultures. Unlike most works of this type, this book provides both essays that examine general topics, such as globalization and sport, international relations and sport, and tourism and sport, as well as essays on sports history, culture, and practice in world regions—for example, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, Europe, and Oceania—in order to provide a more global perspective. These essays are followed by entries on specific sports, world athletes, stadiums and arenas, famous games and matches, and major controversies. Spanning topics as varied as modern professional cycling to the fictional movie Rocky to the deadly ball game of the ancient Mayans, the first three volumes contain overview essays and entries for specific sports that have been and are currently practiced around the world. The fourth volume provides a compendium of information on the winners of major sporting competitions from around the world. Readers will gain invaluable insights into how sports have been enjoyed throughout all of human culture, and more fully comprehend their cultural contexts. The entries provide suggestions for further reading on each topic—helpful to general readers, students with school projects, university students and academics alike. Additionally, the four-volume Sports Around the World spotlights key charismatic athletes who have changed a sport or become more than just an outstanding player.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary Wolstenholme is a sporting legend, and the last of a dying breed--the career amateur golfer. A tall man and a short hitter, Gary had always kept the ball in play and relied on his magical short game. It is a style that has paid off. He has played in the Walker Cup six times, represented England on no less that 218 occasions, won the Amateur Championship twice, and has been head to head with Tiger Woods--and beaten him. He has won on every continent and played with legends of the game--such as Palmer, Nicklaus, and Ballesteros--but it has not always been easy. While many of the amateurs he played with came from wealthy families, Gary did not. They drove to tournaments in expensive new cars and stayed in five-star hotels; he got the bus or walked miles to the venue with his clubs on his back, staying at the cheapest bed and breakfast. If there was free food available at the clubhouse, Gary would try to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner on site so that he wouldn't have to worry about paying for a meal. In this honest and revealing autobiography, Gary reveals everything about his long and successful career. From the highs of playing in the Masters in the early 1990s, to the lows of not being selected for the Home International series in 2008--even though he was still playing some of the best golf of his career. Now in his fifties, Gary Wolstenholme still wows the crowds whenever he plays.

This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an unofficial history of NZ Golf and the Eisenhower Trophy seen through the eyes of Ted McDougall. He played in seven Eisenhower tournaments between 1958 and 1976. At the completion of the 1967/68 NZ summer circuit the Australian legend Norman von Nida, who was the then coach of the NZ team, described McDougall as playing the best golf of any amateur in the world today. After playing with McDougall in the final round of the 1967 NZ Open, Peter Thomson, five times British Open Open Champion, described McDougall as the best golfer in NZ, amateur or professional. Bobby Jones, the American Captain, went out of his way to congratulate Ted McDougall on his third round score of 72 which was instrumental in putting New Zealand into the lead with one round to play for the Eisenhower Trophy played at St Andrews in 1958. McDougall also had a famous uncle from Monifieth, Jock Hendry, who on the advice of Tom Vardon became the professional at Town & Country, St Paul, Minnesota where he stayed until his retirement in 1960. Ted's golf career spanned 40 years from the time he won the Scottish Midland Boys Championship in 1951 through to when he won the New Zealand Seniors title in 1991.
