The ultimate gift for the golf lover.

PRODUCT: 

In this most recent addition to Assouline’s highly covetable and lauded Ultimate Collection, George Peper, former editor in chief of Golf magazine and 2016 PGA Lifetime Achievement Award winner for Journalism, has compiled a once-in-a-lifetime journey traveling through 100 of the world's most significant and noteworthy courses. Peper describes in detail the holes that have confounded the game's best players, the tournaments that have made and broken champions, the unique and special characteristics of each course and all the clubhouses, fairways and bunkers you encounter along each one. From greens as old and hallowed as St Andrews to courses celebrating their first anniversary such as Nova Scotia’s Cabot Cliffs, from the island mountain course of China’s Shanqin Bay to the Hamptons’ Maidstone Club, Golf: The Impossible Collection is an unequivocal sensory treat for the golf fanatic, or the perfect feast to feed the wanderlust simmering in all of us.
