Extreme Golf: The World's Most Unusual, Fantastic And Bizarre Courses

From: $1.99

Extreme Golf is a captivating journey through the world's most geographically extreme, climatically challenging, dangerous and uniquely designed courses.

From the sweltering courses of the desert to the freezing ice golf championships in Greenland, and from the erotically shaped bunkers in lush surroundings in France to the harsh surfaces in Kabul, golf is clearly no longer the elite sport it once was. Today's golfers (at least the ones not wearing plaid pants) are looking for the extreme-where the rough is patrolled by wild animals and the greens are sometimes white.

This lushly illustrated book features more than 200 breathtaking and often hilarious photographs capturing the true spirit of extreme golf, accompanied by light-hearted and engaging text. Including an appendix listing the unusual courses around the world (in case you'd like to make a tee time), Extreme Golf's chapters include:

€ Location, Location, Location (out of the way places in the world) € Courses for Concern (difficult due to geographic oddities) € Golf by Design (in which the course designer influences the extreme setup) € In the Rough (really hard courses in really strange places)

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 17, 2007 Type: User Review Extreme... Golf?!

I bought this as a bit of a gag gift both for my husband and another friend of ours, and I must admit, it's really a fascinating look at some of the bizarre and unusual golf courses around the globe - from a course designed around the shapes of...

Bought this for my dad for Christmas. He loved it. Read the whole book and has picked out a couple of courses he plans to visit. I would definately recommend this to anyone who loves golf. Even if you don't, the pictures are fantastic.

If I didn't like '50 Places to Play Golf Before You Die' I'm hardly likely to like this am I?. If Mr Lennard thinks I want to spend a small fortune playing a sport I hate in potentially hazardous conditions then he has another thing coming. The...
