Money Golf: 600 Years of Bettin' on Birdies

Betting is part of golf, from its beginnings until today and from its top stars on down to the duffers at the local links. But despite widespread wagering among golfers, no betting scandal has ever besmirched organized golf. Most golf historians attribute this record to the game's ancient and tested code of honor. Money Golf: 600 Years of Bettin' on Birdies details this long and colorful history and examines the role betting has played in golf throughout the years. With stories and anecdotes from golf icons and celebrities, plus a bonus section of common betting games and wagering advice from the high priest of golf course betting, Sam Snead, it's no wonder Golf Digest tabbed it as one of seven suggested golf books to buy in its holiday gift guide.
