"No one knows more about golf course design than Robert Trent Jones, Jr., the creator of such highly regarded courses as Princeville Golf Resort in Hawaii and Weston Hills Country Club in Florida. Now, in Golf by Design: How to Lower Your Score by Reading the Features of a Course, Jones reveals his secrets to playing better, smarter golf. Drawing on a lifetime of experience as both an accomplished designer and a player, he teaches golfers how to analyze each hole from a designer's perspectivee - how to beat the course by outwitting its architect. From tee to green, from fairway to rough, Jones leads golfers through every step of a designer's strategy, detailing in no-nonsense language how architects use optical illusions, elevation changes, forced carries, trees, sand, and even different types of grass to challenge a golfer's playing skills. He then offers expert strategies for counterattack - from constructing the ideal approach shot to taking advantage of the wind and playing across water. For beginners, Golf by Design is an indispensable introduction to a course's most rigorous challenges, providing invaluable insights into all of the basic, crucial elements of strategy and technique. Golf by Design will teach the sophisticated player and the seasoned pro exactly what they need to know to lower their handicap and permanently improve their game. Peppered with delightful personal anecdotes about the construction of many of the world's most dramatic courses, illustrated throughout with dazzling color photographs and instructive diagrams and drawings, and with a foreword by five-time British Open champion Tom Watson, Golf by Design is a must-have for golf lovers everywhere. It is a not-to-be-missed guide to mastering one of the world's best-loved pastimes." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Robert Trent Jones, Jr., is the distinguished designer of more than 150 golf courses around the world and has been called "the father of modern environmental golf course architecture."

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
