 Rating:  - A Can't Miss, Great American BookThough I am wary of contributing to the incessant, effusive praise for just about everything in contemporary life, I must admit that The Match is the finest sports book I have read in many years.

Finally, the true sports fan gains newfound appreciation and respect for the evolution of the game of golf and the men who contributed ...

The Match is much shorter than his finest work, The Greatest Game Ever Played, and his essential biography of Bobby Jones, The Grand Slam, but it is nonetheless a gripping, page turning tale of 18 holes played by four of golf's outstanding personalities on one of the nation's most beguiling courses, Cypress Point CC.

The Match ranks right up there with Mr Frosts other book "The Greatest Game Ever Played".This book gives wonderful historical perspective on golf in the Monteray Bay area.
