The Ultimate Golf Trivia Book

by Mike Towle

Overview

The Ultimate Golf Trivia Book is interactive in that each of the eighteen chapters is assigned a par of three, four, or five.  Readers can keep score and earn eagles, birdies, pars, bogeys, and double bogeys dependent on the number of correct answers he or she provides for that chapter.  Par for this book's course is 72.  Golf-savvy readers will love trying to break 80.

Scattered throughout the book are interesting sidebars such as top-ten lists, strange-but-true stories, and more than thirty photographs.
