Book Review: Planet Golf
© Bob Grier
It’s almost time to put away the clubs, pull up a leather chair, light a fire, pour a brandy and play some armchair golf
By Geoff Shackelford Planet Golf is a rich coffee table book of the world’s best courses outside the United States. Darius Oliver offers succinct and informative architectural critiques of 130 layouts (of a mind-boggling 600 or so sampled), while David Scalletti’s images will have you wondering how one person could capture familiar courses in such fresh and revealing lights. A classic. See other LINKS book reviews»		Planet Golf $60
