Golf by Design (Paperback Book) by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Golf by Design Paperback Book by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
Few people understand the game of golf better than
Robert Trent Jones, Jr. In this book, he draws on
his lifetime of experience as both a designer and a
player to teach golfers how to improve their game by
analyzing each hole from a designer's perspective - how to
beat the course by outwitting its architect. From tee to
green, from fairway to rough, Jones decodes the designer's intentions,
explaining how architects use optical illusions, elevation changes, forced carries,
trees, sand, and even different types of grasses to challenge
a golfer's playing skills. He then presents expert strategies for
counterattack - from constructing the ideal approach shot to taking
advantage of the wind and playing across water. Peppered with
delightful personal anecdotes about the construction of many of the
world's most dramatic courses, illustrated throughout with dazzling color photographs
and instructive diagrams and drawings, Golf By Design is a
not-to-be-missed guide to one of the world's best-loved pastimes.
