Have you noticed that courses are becoming glorified driving ranges designed to accommodate the yardage gains of so-called technological advancements? You are not alone. If you feel that the traditional game is in a state of crisis, you may be right. The Future of Golf is a relevant and refreshingly hard look at modern golf. A mix of commentary, analysis and essays, The Future of Golf contends that the game of golf has been hijacked by corporate interests, while it's governing associations turn a blind eye. This thought provoking book is a hands-down, must-have addition to any golfer's collection.Customer Review: The Future of Golf
If you, like me, are concerned about what is happening to golf and feel that technology has gone too far, then this book is a "Must".
Customer Review: The most important golf book now in publication.
This is nothing less than the most important book on the game of golf now in print. It is the most important golf book of the last 25 years, and is probably the most important golf book since the writing of C. B. Macdonald, Bernard Darwin and even Bob Jones. It is not an elegant book; others, including Shackelford himself have written books that are far more beautiful in terms of lavish publications. But the comparisons that have been made between this book and Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" are apt. This book is a call to arms in the golf technology arms race. These are direct, pithy, clear-eyed essays that will provoke any reader to challenge about half of what is becoming the accepted state of affairs in the world of golf. You cannot be a serious-minded student of the game of golf in the 21st Century without reading, and indeed studying, this book.
