I have had the good fortune of playing Cypress Point a couple of times. It's everything you could want in a golf course. Simply marvelous.

It definitely has that look. Lots of articles from newspapers of the day, photos and drawings of the different courses Old Tom designed. The back story is that someone found an original that may or may not have belonged to Old Tom himself. An actor playing Old Tom in a one man show borrowed it for the show and Prince Andrew saw the show and helped get the book published. More to it than that, but it's a quick summary.

[wingedfoot97]

Yes. Sir.

Saw a Bob Rosburg putting book today at Half Price Books that had a motion section for you to flip through. It showed a face on and dtl of a putt by him. It was awesome, but too expensive.

Got Tom Doak's book. Ordered it from his website, http://www.renaissancegolf.com. Very good reading.

I've got a great collection of golf literature, been collecting for many years.
Club histories, old classic 1st editions, famous books all collections should own.

Nothing like having a golf library in your own home.
