It's the undated calendar that takes passionate golfers to a place where they're always first off on a dewy morning and the holes are laid out as if by a magician. With its to-die-for photographs and inspiring quotes, it's the perfect golfer's accessory, designed to be used year after year and featuring a Wire-O bound format. The bagpipes at Turnberry. Pacific Dunes, and an afternoon so quiet you can hear your heart beat. The windswept links of Ballycastle. Undulating greens and distant hills at South Africa's Erinvale Club. Set against intense blue skies and dramatic backdrops of mountains, oceans, and deserts, these evocative photographs bring out all the game's beauty and sense of challenge.

This book tells the story of the Scottish golf professionals who came to America in 1888 and struggled to earn a living and the respect of the wealthy amateur golf establishment and the United States Golf Association who controlled the sport. Charles "Chay" Burgess--founder of the New England PGA, teacher of three American national champions, and the savior of the Ryder cup--learned the game on ancient seaside links and competed against British greats. His arrival in the U.S. dramatically influenced the growth of golf and the reconciliation of differences between amateurs and professionals. In 1913, the American Francis Ouimet--a working-class unknown under Burgess' tutelage--won the U.S. Open against British celebrities Ted Ray and Harry Vardon. His triumph brought the game to mainstream America.
