From the trivial to the arcane, Alliss’ 19th Hole
is a compulsively readable collection of golf facts, told in the wry
voice of the man Golf Digest called the “best golf commentator
ever.”
Marvel at the accomplishments of golfers who have won a place in
“Alliss’ Hall of Fame,” shake your head at the chaos
that ensues “When Good Golfers Go Bad,” and relive
“The Great Battles of Golf History.” Take an armchair
expedition to “The World’s Ten Greatest Holes,” learn
“Ten Essential Facts About the Hole in One,” and see what
happens when the green is subject to “Animal Intrusions.”
Informed by a devotion to the game and a whimsical eye for detail, Alliss’ 19th Hole is the perfect book for any duffer who can’t get enough links lore.
