• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the early 1900s, southwest Missouri, also known as the Ozarks, quickly became a golfer¿s retreat. Professionals such as Walter Hagen and the legendary gambler Titanic Thompson toured the area and tested their skills against locals Horton Smith, Ky Laffoon, and others. Over the years, tour professionals including Hale Irwin, Payne Stewart, and Cathy Reynolds developed their games on the Ozark fairways. Today southwest Missouri can proudly claim the winners of five U.S. Opens, three Masters, one PGA Championship, and well over 100 professional tournaments. Golf in the Ozarks will take readers on a tour of ¿everything golf¿ in the region, from course and player histories to local tournaments.
