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

Extreme... Golf?!

My Dad Loved It
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.

Gift for Dad
I don't get the review below, if you hate golf, why would you write a review on a golf book? My dad loves to golf and I understand that he probably won't be able to go to all the golf courses in this book; however, I know he'll enjoy reading and...

A disgrace!
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...

And you already thought golfers were nuts
You just have to face it, there are some golf courses you're never going to play. Alan Shepard's "course" on the moon probably isn't going to be open for regular play for several years. And the pictures of the Kabul Golf and Country Club, complete...
