“A fascinating book that serves not only as a celebration of the finest exponents of the game since the first Open Championship in 1860 but also provides a bite-sized history of championship golf.”

PETER DIXON, THE TIMES
“Everyone’s story is different and inspiring in their own way which is what makes this wonderful compilation of biographies such a treat. I could never tire of hearing the stories of our great champions so whether you are an aspiring golfer or an oldtimer like me who enjoys the history of the game, I have no hesitation in recommending Andy Farrell’s fascinating book.”

THE IRISH INDEPENDENT
“Enjoyable musings on the legendary figures of the past and present.”
DEREK LAWRENSON, THE DAILY MAIL
“Don’t be put off by the list aspect – this is a cracking book. Not just 100 mini-biographies, but full of good stories and some fantastic quotes. Farrell also makes some excellent and intriguing left-field picks. Full of nuggets such as the fact that Hale Irwin won more money heading the 1997 Champions Tour money list than Tiger Woods did topping that year’s PGA tour.”
DAVE TINDALL, SKYSPORTS.COM
“More than just a list, Andy Farrell’s book asks what qualities are required to become one of the sport’s greatest ... It’s an easy and enjoyable read, but also insightful. The short essays about the golfers are an engaging read, full of stories and quotes that capture the essence of the players.”
CURIOUS ABOUT GOLF
