Full Description

Social interaction, sporting competition and all this in the most beautiful natural surroundings and usually without time pressure are the compelling arguments in favour of golf.

Golf superstars such as Tiger Woods and celebrities such as Justin Timberlake and Catherine Zeta-Jones have ensured that the sport is losing its outdated image. But despite the ongoing professionalisation and opening up of the sport, its social prestige remains. Golf stands for style, elegance and sophistication.

This volume presents the most exclusive, sophisticated and impressive golf resorts worldwide. Sometimes against an Alpine mountain backdrop, sometimes on picturesque sandy beaches, and often including luxurious accommodation and comprehensive wellness offers.

In addition to these dream locations, the book also contains other exciting stories from the world of golf - from famous players and cheats, club makers and space travellers to gangsters, boxers and billionaires. This revised edition of the bestseller is also dedicated to women in golf, highlighting the changing role of women in the traditional sport and recognising their achievements. 

Text in English and German.
