"Wonderful source of information about the lives of Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Ken Venturi, and the not so well known Harvie Ward. Thorough and enjoyable accounting of a best ball golf match between two pros, Nelson and Hogan, against two amatuers, Venturi and Ward. One of the all time best golf stories"
"LOVED THIS BOOK! Golf, famous golfers, great match, great biographies, interesting history, great writing. I even understand the big deal in having amatuer status, something I never grasped before. I even googled photos of Cypress Point so I could see each hole as it was described in the book. Can you say obsessed? WOW--what a read!"
"Compelling for the portions of history this book captures from the standpoint of golf and half the 20th century. The author finely captures the men, their match, and assorted other characters of the time. A glaring omission, however, is a map of the course. All readers should obtain an aerial view of the course (easily done via an internet mapping service) to follow The Match hole by hole. While the book's descriptions are excellent, a good view only serves to enhance and fulfill the full potential of the reader's mind."
