Author Description

In this illustrated book, Tom Fazio shows golfers the inner workings of a master golf designer's mind. It is not a technical book, though much valuable technical information can be found in the appendices. Most of the things he talks about are based on common sense and practical experience gained over a period of thirty-five years, and they are presented in clear and easy-to-understand fashion. Fazio does not believe in shortcuts or excuses, only results, and those results can be seen in the magnificent photographs provided by the team of John and Jeannine Henebry and other fine golf photographers. This is a book that will help any golfer better understand how to read a course and how to play it. Fazio accomplishes this by explaining the process by which he creates each hole, and the philosophy behind his designs.
