GolfPunk Essential 100:
The Greatest Golf Stuff Of All Time
A fantastic new book from the makers of GolfPunk magazine
A beautifully presented celebration of the all-time 100 greatest things in golf, GolfPunk Essential 100, will be on sale in time for The Open Championship at St Andrews.
Spanning the entire history of golf, this intensely researched, informative and humorous guide covers the 100 most inspirational things borne from this wonderful game, including the Best Open Championship – nominated as Turnberry 1977, when young pretender Tom Watson faced the Golden Bear Jack Nicklaus.

The book is edited by Tim Southwell and Iestyn George , creators of the celebrated golf magazine GolfPunk, and has the magazine’s own unique take on the world of golf.

The categories include:
Best player never to have won a Major - Christy O’Connor. “ ‘Himself’, as he was universally known, came heart-breakingly close to three Open championship. He was good enough to play in 10 Ryder Cups and one of the best ball-strikers who ever lived.”
Greatest Disaster:Jean Van De Velde. “With one or two exceptions people do not remember who comes second – unless, that is, you are talking about the 1999 Open Championship at Carnoustie”.

The Golfer We Love To Hate: Lanny Wadkins. “The greatest compliment we could pay was to hate the sight of him and wish he were here on our side.
Golf Spat –Seve Ballesteros and Paul Azinger. “It started in 1989 when Seve thought Azinger got a ‘bad’ drop after driving into water at Belfry’s 18th hole in their singles match…it was handbags on the putting green.”

Eccentric – Moe Norman. “Crippled by shyness, he virtually lived out of his car and would deliberately lose some events in order to miss the presentation ceremony”.
Each page is illustrated with stunning images spanning the history of golf.
