From Gene Sarazen's double eagle that led to victory at the 1935 Masters to Tom Watson's nearly impossible chip shot in the 1982 U.S. Open, the greatest and most memorable shots in the long and storied history of this grand game are brought to life in The Front Nine. Readers thrill to both the joy and the agony of the most significant shots through detailed descriptions, commentary from the men who pulled them off, and fresh insight from golf historian Barry LeBrock. This book is a must for golf fans of all ages.Customer Review: Great read
Very interesting book. So many details about each of the nine shots from the first one (Sarazen in 1935) to the last one -- the chip by Tiger at the Masters when you saw the swoosh on the ball before it dropped. I am not a low-handicapper, but I do love golf and know the sport very well. This book kept my interest from page-1. He writes about not only the stars, but all the great characters of the game too. Very entertaining.
