Book Description

An adage about sports writing says,"The smaller the ball, the better the writing." The 3,000+ quotations that make up The Gigantic Book of Golf Quotations prove that saying true. Quotes range from the hilarious ("It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball. I did it in one afternoon on the golf course"—Hank Aaron) to the thought-provoking ("The most important shot in golf is the next one"—Ben Hogan). These are just some of the names included: Mitch Albom, Winston Churchill, Bing Crosby, John Daly, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John Feinstein, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Raymond Floyd, Gerald Ford, Ernest Hemingway, Ben Hogan, Bob Hope, Samuel L. Jackson, Bobby Jones, Michael Jordan, Bill Murray, Byron Nelson, Jack Nicklaus, P.J. O'Rourke, Harvey Penick, George Plimpton, Rick Reilly, Frank Sinatra, Annika Sorenstam, John Updike, Kathy Whitworth, Tiger Woods...and hundreds more! This is the ultimate gift book for every golfer—and everyone who's lucky enough to own it will browse through again and again. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.
