What causes a golf ball to hook or slice? What are the origins of the terms "bogey" and "birdie"? Why was Jack Nicklaus called "The Golden Bear"? Why is the Masters champion presented with a green jacket? How many tournaments did Byron Nelson win in 1945? This title reveals the history and lore of golf.

>In addition to books on popular team sports, we also publish books for a wide variety of athletes and sports enthusiasts, including books on running, cycling, horseback riding, swimming, tennis, martial arts, golf, camping, hiking, aviation, boating, and so much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to publishing books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked by other publishers and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
