Product Description
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.

 Amazing Pictures! November 13, 2009

I got this book for my husband who is a golf and photography fanatic and it was perfect. The pictures and little stories are great. I even read the whole book myself.

Really great gift for a golfer. Bought it for my husband but both of us have very much enjoyed. Photos are great, printing quality is very fine. There are recountings of several epic lays but there are plenty of other stories and images; widely varied, entertaining and interesting. So much so that we've been inspired to plan trips to a couple of the locations in the book.

A truly inspired book made of pictures that are both nice to look at and evocative of the terrible places where our balls will lie every now and then.... A superbly shot series of images that will surely delight any golfer. Especially because he can have some relief in seeing other golfers' balls in places even worse than the ones where he sent his ones last week. Recommended!

Our son got such a kick out of the book we have him for Fathers Day. Actually, we really enjoyed reading it before we wrapped it up. Wish we could find a photo of the cover for framing.
