What we have here is the most fun, comprehensive argument settler—and starter—in the history of golf. Have at it!
Mark Frost, author of The Greatest Game Ever Played and co-creator of Twin Peaks

Some people are skilled writers, some are dogged reporters. Michael Arkush, for as long as I’ve known him (which is a long time,) has always been both. In The Golf 100, he again marries fluid prose and effortless storytelling with deep and solid research to attack one of golf’s favorite bar-room arguments; such an easy read, I was done before I knew it and only wanting more.
Jimmy Roberts, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster
