This is a study of golf's development over the past century, and in particular the last 50 years as professionals have emerged from the amateur ranks. It also investigates the people behind the scenes - the coaches and caddies, the tournament organizers, the course designers and the businessmen. Drawing on extensive interviews with people from all aspects of the game, including players such as Trevino, Nicklaus, Faldo and Norman, the book tells the story of one of the oldest of all sports. Television commentator Bruce Critchley wrote Power Golf with Ian Woosnam, and Bob Ferrier's other books as author or co-author include Play Better Golf with Peter Alliss.
