Overview
Reviews
"Golf fans can expect at least one new book about the Masters to arrive every year about the time the magnolias bloom in Augusta, Georgia. First off the tee this year is veteran sports journalist Cannizzaro's behind-the-scenes take on covering the tournament for the last 25 years. Differentiating his approach from those of the many previous Masters books, Cannizzaro organizes his narrative around what happens each day of Masters week, from the practice rounds through the much-loved Par 3 Contest on Wednesday and the four days of the tournament itself. Along the way, Cannizzaro inevitably reprises some of the tournament's most memorable moments, focusing on big names like Woods, Mickelson, and Norman, but this material tends to be overly familiar. What gives the book its zip are the chapters detailing people and places on the periphery of the action—the fabled oak tree, for example, situated between the clubhouse and the first tee, where golf's elite gather to "schmooze and booze," and the "unofficial 19th hole," TBonz Steakhouse, which serves 6,000 pounds of beef during Masters week. A tasty aperitif for anyone who loves the Masters." —BooklistAuthor Biography
