The Real Deal

Many book promise to tell you everything you wanted to know and were going to ask anyway. This one delivers it. From Annika to Tiger, and from ice golf to St. Andrews and everything in between, this the real deal. I learned more about the game of golf in this book than I have in the countless golf encyclopedias I have on my shelf. And it is fun, too. Judy
