NEW HORIZONS Pan Am's Guide to Golf Courses Round the World Revised Edition GENE SARAZEN with PETER McLEAN Now revised and updated, this complete guide to the major golf courses and golf resorts of the world is a must for the traveling golfer. Covering more than fifty countries, territories, and islands, GoLF/NEw HORIZONS describes 549 golf courses and provides up-to-date information on the course layout, caddy and green fees, entry re-quirements, clubhouse facilities, and local ac-commodations. This edition includes many new courses and features new introductions to each section. In addition, an appendix lists by states almost 400 of the best public and resort courses in the United States. Eighty maps and photo-graphs illustrate the text. Professional golfer and world traveler Gene Sarazen and roving golfer Peter McLean re-create the landscape of each course and recall its unfor-gettable features. They tell of the attractive girl caddies in Japan and of the midnight cup tourna-ments in Oslo; of grazing cows on the fairways of the Royal Hong Kong and of a breathtaking course high in the Argentine Andes. In Egypt, the Pyramids shadow the eighteenth green at Cairo's Mena House Golf Course, and on one of the Tonga Islands, the course is built around a temple. In India, golfers have two caddies; the second, whom you hire for a dime, protects your ball from thieving birds and hungry monkeys who tend to snatch unguarded balls and devour them. At the fabled Mauna Kea resort in Hawaii, the third tee sits on a promontory of volcanic rock jutting out thirty feet into the Pacific. One must drive across 190 yards of ocean to reach the green. Gourmet golfers bound for Spain will want to check out the new Club de Golf Soto-grande on the Costa del Sol. This club offers a magnificent championship course and classical French cuisine. A unique guide to international golf, crammed with thousands of facts from playing tips to nearby attractions for the amusement of wives, GoLF/ NEw HORIZONS makes an exciting new addition to the golfer's bookshelf?and his suit-case.
