Great depth into the history surrounding Hogan, Nelson, Venturi and Ward. I have a better appreciation of what the early pro's went through, thanks to this book's accounting of their hard times. Even though this book didn't focus on the mechanics of golf, reading about how these incredible players played this match has helped me improve my own course management techniques. Frost cleverly leads you into the player's minds on the day of The Match, a journey that surveys each one's background and method of thinking. It's as if each shot during The Match mirrored the traits of the players' character. The events leading up to this match and those happen afterwards are just as interesting as The Match itself. ]]>
