Editorial Reviews:
Charles Lindsay's photographs offer a humorous and inquisitive foray into the hazards where golf balls are lost--rough, woods, bunkers, and wetlands--as well as unexpected encounters with wildlife on and off the green. An avid golfer with plenty of experience losing balls, Lindsay photographs his way to the heart of the game with a light touch and an eye for telling details. In the process, he discovers balls ravaged by golfers, gators, and foxes--and lost for over a century.
Lindsay even encounters what is believed to be the world's oldest golf ball--unearthed in a cellar in the Netherlands alongside a primitive club.
The photographs were taken at celebrated courses in North America, England, Scotland, and Ireland: Pebble Beach, Bandon Dunes, Bethpage, Fossil Trace, Troon, St. Andrews, Royal St. Georges, Ballybunion, Old Head, and many others.
The foreword by John Updike is a celebration of golf and nature and where the two meet. A humorous story by golf giant Greg Norman rounds out the book.

Conversation Piece Jul 12, 2010
Thought this would be a great coffee table book at my place in Myrtle Beach. Was in good shape as described.
My avid golfer Mom liked it May 25, 2010
I purchased the book for my mother, who is an avid golfer. She golfs every other day (sometimes more) and travels to as many different courses around the country, as she can. She actually is an excellent golfer and has fun joining competitions whenever possible.
When she looked through the book, she thought it was fairly entertaining, but hadn't seen it before, so I'm rating it 4 stars. She indicated the book is relatable to golfers.

My Cousin is an avid golfer and I can never decide what to give him for Christmas. While looking for a different item, this popped up as a suggestion. Perfect coffee table book for a golfer. Great price, too, Amazon.
