Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect

As millions of PGA TOUR fans -- many golfers themselves -- can attest, every PGA TOUR tournament represents the drama of golf at its highest level: every shot is new; every hole is an opportunity to improve; and every round is another intricate contest with oneself. But the PGA Tour is also where the world's best players demonstrate their competitive fire, shot by jaw-dropping shot, on the most beautiful and challenging courses in the world. "These Guys Are Good celebrates the players, the great rivalries, the best comebacks, the greatest shots, the toughest playing conditions, and the events behind the scenes of the PGA TOUR. Articles by some of golf's greatest writers -- Bob Cullen, Melanie Hauser, David Barrett, Tom Mackin, and Mark Soltau -- capture the excitement of PGA TOUR competition. The book also features vivid quotes from players, caddies, and fans, as well as striking photography, including many images that have never been seen before.

These Guys are Good

Thomas Synnott's connection with the vintner/grocer class in Dublin in the 1830s and his later rise in prominence as a vestry officer, and warden in O'Connell's repeal association places him in the classic middle-class Catholic mould for that time. His election to the board of guardians of the North Dublin workhouse and as High Constable for Dublin Corporation brought him to peaks reached by few of his repeal colleagues. This book examines Synnott's career which included his important role in voluntary relief during the Great Famine of 1845-50 and his appointment in 1848 as Governor of Grangegorman female prison in North Dublin. The problems encountered by Synnott as Governor which included a power struggle between him and the senior female officers there, demonstrate the local complexities behind the religious and political divisions of his time.

In the grand tradition of such classics as Golf in the Kingdom and Final Rounds comes a brilliant consideration of golf's inimitable and ever-growing popularity. In 1908, Arnold Haultain wrote a delightful book with a deceptively simple title: The Mystery of Golf. It explores the love affair golfers have with their sport and has been a favorite ever since among connoisseurs and students of the game. Now, more than ninety years later, in a thematic continuation of Haultain's enduring treatise, Bob Cullen has crafted a literate and thoughtful book that chronicles his own quest to uncover the secrets to the spell that golf has cast on millions. Why golf? Beginning with that essential question, Cullen's fascinating explorations lead readers to a range of exotic and unexpected places of mind, spirit, and geography. Cleverly establishing entirely credible links between seemingly unrelated items -- from the breathtaking prowess of Tiger Woods to the Iranian government's near banning of golf to how a baby's smile is related to our love of golf -- Cullen weaves a rich and amusing tapestry, discussing suck unexpected subjects as Platonic philosophy and the nature of faith. As whimsical and picaresque as it is earnest and intensely personal, Why Golf? does for America's favorite weekend pastime what Peter Mayle did for the south of France and what George Will did for baseball.
