Golf in America

George B. Kirsch ($29.95)

Simple title, complicated subject. History professor Kirsch traces golf's path in the United States, hitting the high notes just right. The strength of the book is its study of how golf has intermingled with class, gender and race.

The 19th Hole

Richard Diedrich ($75)

Proving that it's not just the course that dazzles, this ode to clubhouse architecture, old and new, is heavily illustrated. Jack Nicklaus' foreword points out that a synergy exists between course and clubhouse.
