Golf Has Never Failed Me: The Lost Commentaries of Legendary Golf Architect Donald J. Ross - Hardcover

Donald Ross, one of Scotland's great exports to America, has designed or remodeled some of the most magnificent and challenging courses on the planet. His commentaries on the rationale behind his architecture, penned before World War I but only recently rediscovered, present a continuous fairway of graceful and thoughtful insights into the game.
