Pete Dye Golf Courses: Fifty Years of Visionary Design

There have been hundreds upon hundreds of books published with the word “Charleston” in the title. The subject matter almost always concerns the city's history and mystery, elegance and architecture, ghosts, goblins, restaurants, romance, natural beauty or nightlife. But until now there has never been a book dedicated exclusively to the city's underrated but vibrant golf scene. With full-color photography and original line and ink drawings, "Golf Charms of Charleston" explores the dazzling courses of ultra-chic Kiawah and Seabrook Islands, the venerable old-line country clubs in town, and every worthwhile venue in between. There are ten Charleston-area personality profiles in the text, from a multi-talented Hall of Famer (Beth Daniel) to a multi-platinum rock and roller (Darius Rucker.) Author Joel Zuckerman discovers the golf pulse of this wonderful region in this lovely keepsake, featuring a foreword by renowned golf course architect Pete Dye.

Pro's Pros shines the much-deserved spotlight on 30 of the best and brightest club professionals working today. These men and women are the glue of the game, the unsung heroes of golf, the people that inspire, encourage and assist the many millions of golfers that come under their auspices.

By choosing to compete against the finest male players in the world she struck a blow for women, underdogs and dreamers that resonates still. Todd Hecht was in his 40's, a physical specimen, when he was felled by a stroke that almost killed him. The love and support of his concerned membership enveloped him, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars they raised on his behalf helped bring him back from the brink. Gary Hobgood cuts fairways at dawn, takes green fees at nine, grills burgers at noon.

On the sun-drenched South Carolina coast, just forty-five minutes from the enchanting city of Charleston, lies one of the nation's most beloved barrier islands--a dazzling, miles-long beach; deep green foliage; massive, centuries-old hardwoods; sparkling marshland leading to the horizon; a dizzying array of birdlife amidst all manner of flora and fauna. And then there's the golf. Kiawah first came to the public's consciousness back in 1991, when its bellwether Ocean Course served as host venue for the Ryder Cup Matches, still remembered as among the most thrilling golf competitions ever played. Now, a generation later, Kiawah and the Ocean Course return to the spotlight as the host of the 2012 PGA Championship, the first Major Championship to ever be contested in the golf-mad, golf-rich state of South Carolina. Veteran golf and travel writer Joel Zuckerman shines the spotlight not only on the incredible Ocean Course but also on the remaining quartet of wonderful courses at the Kiawah Resort and the pair of aces at the Kiawah Island Club, among others. Beginning with the history of the island itself through the centuries, Zuckerman provides the whole story of golf on Kiawah, from the groundbreaking Ryder Cup that first raised Kiawah's profile among golf fans the world over to the 2012 PGA Championship. The history of the club and the courses is further bolstered with profiles of some of Kiawah's most significant individuals, among the most celebrated names in golf. Kiawah Golf is a must-read for anyone who loves Kiawah or loves golf--and truly, don t the two go hand in hand?
