The great courses of the world elevate golf to a level that surpasses sports—a realm that can only be compared to experiences. Who cares what your score might be as you stride the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach. Or marvel at the majesty of the Old Course at St. Andrews. Horse racing may be “the sport of kings” but the courses included in this book are what make golf a game for the immortals. So enjoy—allow yourself to marvel—and remember: Mark Twain was wrong. Nothing will ever spoil this walk.
