The best book I have read in many years

I recently started playing golf and picked up this book at the library after reading the reviews on Amazon. I read through this book in 5 days and had a hard time putting it down everynight. It is an amazingly well told story that will keep you always wanting to read more. Very inspirational. My favorite book I have read to date.

Great Gift of the Greatest Game

I bought this as a gift for my husband, who said it is one of the best books that he has ever read. He even described a greater understanding of the psychology of golf that will make the playing of it more enjoyable for him. I have rarely seen him so enthusiastic over a book, but I would say that you'd have to be a golf fan to read it.

One of the greatest book about Golf History

Maybe the best Golf book I've ever read. If you love the Game, it is a must.

golf and loving it

I bought this book for my brother in law and he really doesn't read many books. He just usually reads the paper.
He open it up and read this book in one setting. He thought is was just about some person in past years and what his game was about. He found it informative entertaining at the same time. He has read this book at least 2 more times. If you love golf,
then you will love this book.

Entertaining mix of fiction and nonfiction

This book was truly enjoyable and very hard to put down. It is a page turner that yields valuable insight into the birth of golf in Scotland, England, and America. This book contains many valuable facts that may be unknown to the casual sports fan like myself. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an entertaining read on the beginnings of golf and the inspirational story of underdog Francis Ouimet.

However, this book contains a lot of fiction. The "states of mind" of Vardon, Ouimet, Ray, Lord Northcliffe, etc. are pure speculation. Frost has definitely opted for an overdramatization of the story to give it wide appeal (and movie appeal) so it is difficult at times to distinguish facts from fiction. Purists and true golf buffs might be annoyed by the blatant largesse of Frost's fiction.

Nevertheless, the book is an easy and enjoyable read.
