<p>　　Golf is more than just a sport. It is an incomparable source
of  camaraderie, a test of one’s equanimity, and a reminder of
the sheer joy of playing a simple game—in concept, at least—in the
fresh air. Like any pursuit that people grow to love, it just won’t
stay put. Its allure extends far beyond the course, turning up in
the ways we decorate and in the clothes we wear, in our art and
literature, in the memories that delight us, and in the
anticipation we feel for pleasant outings to come.<br />
　　In Golf Style, Vicky Moon turns her expansive eye to every aspect
of the lifestyle that the game has inspired. In eighteen (of
course) chapters, she takes us on an excursion through all things
golf. From legendary meccas at the Greenbrier Resort in West
Virginia to Celtic Manor in Cardiff, Wales, to Whistling Straits in
Kohler, Wisconsin, here are the courses and clubhouses that have
played host to the game throughout history and whose luxury and
beauty inspire us long after the back nine is over. We get to peek
inside the golf-inflected residences of celebrated golfers such as
Jonathan Byrd, Denis Watson, Duffy Waldorf, Fred Funk, and Sophie
Gustafson; and the creative minds of award-winning course designer
Rees Jones, country club and resort decorator Carleton Varney, and
British golfer Ian Poulter, whose own line of golf garb brings new
meaning to color on the fairways. We see golf-themed art and
antiques collections, learn about state-of-the-art turbo-charged
drivers, get a taste of the delicious dinners served at the
Masters, recall favorite films in which golf is the real star, and
admire shining trophies and stunning jewelry inspired by the
game.      <br />
　　Golf Style is a joyous celebration of the history, traditions,
personalities, innovations, challenges, and verdant beauty
associated with the game, as well as a limitless source of
inspiration for anyone, duffer or pro, who wants to make the sport
a part of his or her life both on and off the green.</p>
