Golf is more than just a sport - it's a lifestyle. The revised edition of the successful illustrated book “Golf - The Ultimate Book” offers a unique insight into the fascinating world of golf. With spectacular photos and exciting stories, this book presents the most legendary players, most prestigious competitions and most impressive golf courses. The new edition, with eight additional pages, expands on the first volume from 2019 with even more exclusive resorts, prominent golfers and a special chapter on women in golf. An estimated 60 million people worldwide play golf, and the sport has long since shed its elitist reputation. More and more young people, regardless of gender and age, are spending their time on the golf course. It is the perfect combination of social interaction, sporting competition and an active life in beautiful natural surroundings - usually without the usual time pressure. Thanks in no small part to the discipline's return at the 2016 Olympic Games and the popularity of superstars such as Tiger Woods and celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Catherine Zeta-Jones, the sport has lost its outdated image. But even today, golf remains a symbol of style, elegance and sophistication. “Golf - The Ultimate Book” not only presents historic golf clubs such as the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, but also breathtaking new golf destinations worldwide - from alpine golf courses to resorts on picturesque beaches. In addition to the best golf courses and resorts, the book also provides insights into the stories of prominent players, cheats and fascinating personalities from the world of golf. An absolute highlight of this edition is the chapter on women in golf, which recognizes the growing role of women in the sport and celebrates their extraordinary successes. Bestselling author Stefan Maiwald provides exciting stories and editor Peter Feierabend provides the atmospheric photographs that make this work a unique experience
