Overview
A great golf swing is a thing of beauty, as Phil Sheldon shows in hundreds of photographs he’s taken over the last 30 years. He’s captured all the modern legends—including Jack Nicklaus, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer, Ernie Els, Annika Sorenstam, and Tiger Woods—in some of the most dramatic moments of their careers. Through his photographs and the accompanying narrative, we get a panoramic view of the recent history of the golfing world, with all its visual excitement and human drama: the great courses; the major tournaments such as the Open, the Masters, and the Ryder Cup; the changing equipment and fashions; as well as the key players, their achievements, and the impact they’ve had on the sport.
