Augusta, Texas, goes inside the ropes and into the lives of the ten Masters Champions from the Lone Star State. From Ben Hogan to Ben Crenshaw to Jordan Spieth, Doug Stutsman has uncovered intimate details about how Texans have shaped the history of golf's most coveted major championship. At the 1958 Masters Tournament, a bridge dedication ceremony was held to honor Hogan and his childhood rival, Byron Nelson. Augusta National co-founder Bobby Jones served as master of ceremonies, and although his health left him unable to rise, Jones announced, "We've tried to dedicate these bridges to two men who have meant as much to this tournament as any two men ever have." Nelson was the first Texan to taste triumph at the fourth annual Masters, while nine others-most recently Scottie Scheffler in 2022-have followed the trail that Lord Byron paved. Ten winners; fifteen jackets. More than any other state. More than any foreign country. Moments after capturing the 1984 Masters, Ben Crenshaw called Brent "Bubs" Buckman, his roommate from the University of Texas."What was that like?" Buckman asked. "Walking up eighteen, knowing you had won the Masters." "Bubs," Crenshaw said. "The hair on the back of my neck stood straight up." Nearly forty years later, Stutsman asked Crenshaw to reflect on his first win at Augusta National. "The hair on my neck is still standing straight up," Gentle Ben said.

In 1935, just five years after the great Bob Jones won his Grand Slam and retired from competition, a 20-year-old amateur golfer in a struggling family left Racine, Wisconsin for a $17-a-week shipping clerk job in Poughkeepsie, New York. Ray Billows brought with him a self-taught golf game from the caddie ranks, a gritty determination, and wondrous dreams of competing and succeeding at the highest level of American amateur golf. He brought little else. He arrived at the prestigious Winged Foot Golf Club for the 1935 New York State Amateur Championship in a dilapidated $7 Model T Ford convertible that he intended to sleep in, and without enough money for a caddie. He left with his first significant title and a nickname - The Cinderella Kid - which captured what he was and what he had accomplished. All of Ray Billows' dreams came true, except for one that would haunt him throughout his life.This book tells his story, a story that is sprinkled with thrilling golf, wonderful success, cruel disappointment, personal highlights, humorous anecdotes with Bob Jones, the Duke of Windsor and Babe Ruth, and a reputation as one of the finest gentlemen in the game. The book also provides a glimpse into American amateur golf during the period from 1930 to 1950. It contains more than 40 photographs.

Interviews with Inspiration is a forensic study of what it means and what it takes to be outstanding in the world of sport. It is written by world number one squash player and Commonwealth gold medallist James Willstrop; throughout his squash career he continuously 'did what it took', both physically and mentally, to reach the highest levels - often to unnecessary and somewhat damaging lengths. James talks to some of the sporting and cultural figures who inspired him and reflects on what they do and what drives them to do it. As well as profiling some great athletes of our time, he also delves into the worlds of writing, theatre, and even eye surgery: exploring parallels and differences that exist when people do things across the highest levels. Interviews with Inspiration provides a fascinating insight into a cross-section of icons and achievers, from the viewpoint of one of the most successful English athletes of a generation. Fresh insight via interviews with a range of household names, including Jessica Ennis-Hill, Chris Hoy, Steve Redgrave, Jonny Wilkinson, Katherine Grainger and Julian Barnes

¿As a twenty-five-year plus Golf Professional, Chris Rowe tells stories through his experiences in the golf business. Golf Shops are places where people meet to tell stories not only about there round, but about life. When you go to a Starbucks you hear conversations all around you as you order you latte. When you get your haircut there are conversations going on in every chair. Taking time to listen and tell members and their guests different stories makes the golf shop a fun place to enjoy a few laughs and hang with the golf pros. Golf professionals get to hear it all from success to failures. I've given lessons to Billionaires and discounted lessons to college golfers trying to get better. The one thing we all have in common on the golf course is our deepest insecurities and flaws come out on the opening tee shot. Your wallet size doesn't matter when you put the tee in the ground and the golf professional announces your name. Golf is the greatest game because you can play it all your life. I've never seen an eighty year old man play football or baseball, but you see it every day on the links. Regardless of what you shoot at the end of the day the stories told after the round are what makes golf such a special game. Hope you enjoy my third book Golf Shops, Coffee Shops and Barbershops.

A golf instruction book written by Graham Hawkings, PGA Advanced Golf Coach with over thirty years of experience of teaching all standards of player, from the complete beginner to the elite competitor. The book takes you on a journey in which you will learn how to maximise your own personal strengths, at the same time as giving you the necessary information you need to improve you weaknesses. The basis of the book is that we all have what Graham calls our own individual "DEFAULT GOLF SWING" this is the one which we were born with, unfortunately very rarely is this the method that will allow us to reach our optimum performance level. However what our DEFAULT SWING provides us with is a framework on which we can with one or maybe a number of tweaks allow us to capitalise on our natural skills. Using tried and tested methods DEFAULT GOLF offers the reader in plain and easily understood language the opportunity to maximise their potential by travelling along a structured route. It begins in Part one with a brief explanation of the impact that the golf clubhead has on the flight that the golf ball will take, but the book never deviates from its initial theme that a golfers performance is totally their own responsibility. No one method is preferred to another, the reader is encouraged to go out and explore various options. Like all good teachers Graham tells you where you need to look to find improvement but he doesn't necessarily tell you what to see.
