Product Description
The Future of Golf reveals how the sport has been kidnapped by equipment manufacturers and knowingly deregulated by its governing bodies. A mix of commentary, analysis, and essays, the book chronicles the misguided strategies made by the once-respected United States Golf Association, showing how the momentum from Tiger Woods's popularity is being squandered by manipulative manufacturers and celebrity worship. Author George Shackelford urges the USGA to re-shoulder its responsibilities to the game while suggesting how the PGA Tour can restore excitement to its championships. He offers solutions for making golf fun, affordable and exciting again by emphasizing course design elements, common sense ideals, and tradition-based values.
Reader Reviews
The subjects of technology, design, and price in golf have been with us for a long while (perhaps longer than most realize), but few books tackle them head on. Here, Geoff Shackelford points out where not only he but many professional tour players, course architects, and even voices from the past believe things have gotten off track. For anyone who has lost interest in golf on TV, is tired of 6 hours rounds at even "high-end" public facilities, and would love to know why exactly the latest and greatest in driver technology "just keeps getting better" (and more expensive) when, supposedly, the USGA put a roof on it, you will want to read this. On a final note, while much of the information has been updated for this revised edition, much of the writing will be very familiar to those who regularly follow Geoff Shackelford's articles. First time readers will get much more out it.
