Publisher's Notes
Top golf landscape artist and top golf writer combine talents to produce a glorious visual book about the places we worship in the game of golf. Here are the green "cathedrals, " the sublime arenas of the sport, courses where giants have walked and stars have been born. Hallowed Ground is divided into three sections: "U.S. Championship Courses, " "The Beautiful Golf" (the eight courses of the British Rotation), and in a stunning section of its own, "The Augusta National Golf Club." Renowned golf writer Jaim Diaz brings to this book his encyclopedic knowledge of the sport, the courses and the players, with wit and wisdom. Combined with Linda Hartough's lush and meticulously researched golf landscapes, Hallowed Ground is the most unique golf book published in years.

The Making of the Masters
by David Owen
The story of the tournament and the club are inseparable from that of its founding chairman, Clifford Roberts. David Owen was given unprecedented, unlimited access to the archives, records, and memories of the Augusta National Golf Club and its members, to write a full, thorough look at Roberts and the world he created. Roberts's meticulous attention to detail helped build the Masters into a tradition like no other--and Augusta National into every golfer's view of what heaven should be.
Augusta
by Steve Eubanks
Founded in 1933, the Augusta National Golf Club is the perfect course. Co-designed by legends Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie, Augusta boasts gorgeous fairways and perfectly manicured greens, set against a breathtaking backdrop of azaleas and pines. Every April, the invitation-only Masters Tournament is watched by millions of avid viewers around the globe. But the exclusive club, with a membership comprising some of the worlds most powerful and influential men, is also notorious for a legacy of secrets and controversy.Journalist and novelist Steve Eubanks used all of his investigative and storytelling talents to get to the heart of Augustas turbulent history, including its 44-year rule under the iron fist of Cliff Roberts and his suicide on the clubs grounds; the Masters impetuous yet long-standing relationship with CBS; allegations of racism; and the clubs countless, rigid rules (members can even be expelled for wearing their green Augusta blazers outside the club). With 45 inspiring photographs, Eubankss balanced account also captures the historic moments that evoke deep affection for Augusta, from Dwight Eisenhower teeing off in the days before the Masters was televised to Jack Nicklauss emotional victory at age 46, 23 years after he won his first green jacket. With a new chapter on Tiger Woodss 1997 triumph and published just in time for the 1998 Masters, Augusta is essential reading for anyone who wants the complete story of American golf's most hallowed ground.
Every Shot I Take
by Davis Love
As Davis Love III walked the fairways of the Oakland Hills Country Club, in contention during the final round of the 1996 U.S. Open Championship, he had a powerful ally on his side. For the rest of the nation the day may have been Father's Day, but for Love every day on a golf course is father's day. It was Davis Love, Jr., master professional and legendary teacher, who taught his son the game in all its beautiful complexity. As a child, Davis III was encouraged just to play, to enjoy the game as he grew and developed his athletic skills, to find the pleasure in the game that can lead to the desire for improvement. With every shot he takes, Davis Love III provides a tribute to the strength and the value of his father's teachings. And in Every Shot I Take, he shares with us the lessons he learned about how to play golf with power, with skill, and with joy. Those lessons range widely, from the psychological ("Let your attitude determine your golf game; don't let your golf game determine your attitude") to the physical ("To hit the ball far, hit the ball straight; I try to hit the ball at 80 percent of my overall power, because at 80 percent I have a much better chance of hitting the ball with the center of the club-face") to the technical ("When you begin your downswing, and your left foot returns to the ground, put your cleats in the same holes they were in originally"). They include drills like the Hitchhike Drill, where you place your right hand behind your back and your left thumb on your right shoulder, then in a spinning motion move your thumb to your left shoulder - that's the golf swing in miniature! There are the Ten Commandments of Putting, six steps to successful long bunker shots, and tips for playing in the wind and rain, on fast greens, or out of long rough. Yet all are ultimately about something more than golf. Golf was, for Davis, Jr., a way of being a father, of teaching his sons how to learn, how to approach whatever they might choose to do with knowledge and with care, how to overcome obstacles through dedication and understanding. It was the vehicle through which he taught the most important lesson of all: "Follow your dream, and enjoy the trip".
