Rating:  - Golf Match
This is a very interesting book about a little-known golf match between two famous golf pros and two amateurs.It is an easy read with some interesting historical facts about the evolution of professional golf in the U.S.
Rating:  - Golf as it used to be . . . in beautifully drafted prose
You can almost see the course contours, smell the salt air and feel the lush grass underfoot in this epic depiction of the towering talents of four larger-than-life golf heroes. If this were fiction, the reader would beguiled by the sheer momentum in this solitary golf match . . . but it is absolutely true!
I caddied once in my youth for one of the golfing giants prtrayed in this book and later in life interviewed one of the players in THE MATCH so I have a more-than-passing interest ... Read More

Rating: - Gripping Even Though You Know The Outcome
Mark Frost leaves you breathless as he paints an unmatched literary canvas with words--you can hear it, see it, smell it, feel the tension.Throughout he intersperses snippets and bios of the players so you can't wait to get back to the action.Each time I put it down I looked forward to picking it up and reading it again.I have read also The Greatest Game Ever Played and The Grand Slam.Both excellent, but "The Match" to me was one of the richest literary creations on golf I have ever read.
