But many will remain elusive dreams seen only through pictures, due to their private or elite stature. We have those coffee table books with all the pretty pictures of signature golf holes from courses all over the world, and they are great. But there is another part of the golf experience that is rarely presented or shared in any book. The beauty of the overall experience at these famed and fabled clubs includes the grandeur - and even sometimes graceful simplicity - of the clubhouses. <br /> <br />Finally Richard Diedrich has brought the glory of the architecture and the aura of the inner sanctums of these clubhouses to life in his book - The 19th Hole: Architecture of the Golf Clubhouse. You will see Augusta National, Winged Foot, Maidstone, Merion, Shinnecock Hills, Sleepy Hollow and many more. <br /> <br />Even Sports Illustrated's Jeff Silverman rated it #1 of his Top Ten Books in the December '08 issue (http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1149650/index.htm). As Silverman says, "If you can't join 'em, you can look at 'em." <br /> <br />A great addition to any golfer's library, and a great gift idea for the golfer who thinks s/he has everything (but do we ever??? really???).

The book includes simple, effective swing concepts that are not covered by other golf books. True to its title, this book addresses the golf swing only and does not attempt to cover the complete game. I would recommend this book to anyone seeking to improve his or her golf swing.

Together these two sources made me enjoy the game. I had lessons every Saturday for three weeks and studied in between. The book defined THE SWING. The instructor thought me how to get there. He verified, corrected, showed, and developed a simple plan. My first two rounds of golf was fun and successful.
