Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Analyzing The Legend And Lore Of Golf'S Most Celebrated Tournament Has Become Something Of A Cottage Industry Of Late, But Owen, Who Displayed His Personal Golfing Affections, Frustrations, And Obsessions So Marvelously In My Usual Game, Now Goes Where His Competition Hasn'T Gained Access: To The Sourcevia Access To Augusta National'S Archives, Records, And Membership. The Result Is A Sympathetic, Yet Still Critical And Complex Portrait Of The Club And Its Founder, Clifford Roberts, To Whom Golf History Has Not Been Particularly Kind. Indeed, For Betterand For Worseroberts And Augusta Remain Linked Throughout What Is Essentially A Volume That Weaves Biography With Social History Played Against A Sporting Canvas. Naturally, Finance, Ego, Bobby Jones, Television, And President Eisenhower Figure Into The Tale, But Eisenhower'S Not The Only Leader Of The Free World To Use The Club'S Exclusivity To His Benefit; Owen Uncovers The Delicious Bit That Ronald Reagan And George Schultz Helped Finalize The Invasion Of Grenada There. Of Course, There Is Also Some Great Golf. Augusta National Would Be Just Another Golf Club With A Fancy Pedigree And History Of Exclusion Were It Not For The Remarkable Tournament That It Hosts Every Year. Owen, A Graceful Writer, Tees Up Plenty Of Detail And Anecdote In A Holebyhole Tour Of The Track, Lined With Perspective. Owen Explains, If The Masters Seems Older Than It Is, That'S Largely Because The Tournament, Alone Among The Majors, Is Conducted Year After Year On The Same Course. Every Important Shot Is Played Against A Backdrop That Consists Of Every Other Important Shot, All The Way Back To 1934. Every Key Drive, Approach, Chip, And Putt Is Footnoted And Crossreferenced Across Decades Of Championship Play. Every Swinggood Or Badhas A Context. The Context That Owen Provides Makes The Making Of The Masters As Indispensable As A Hot Putter. Jeff Silverman
