Tom Doak's Confidential Guide to Golf Courses

[MSchott]

This book is very rare and long discontinued as the publisher Sleeping Bear Press is out of business. It's the later hardcover version.

If you don't know this book Doak, who is always frank and opinionated rated hundreds of golf courses back in the 1990's. He ranks them one (terrible) to 10 (Nearly Perfect). There are 31 in the beginning which are his favorites titled "31 Flavors of Golf", usually by architect. The remainder of the book is a rating of courses throughout the world. In the back is the Doak Gazetteer in which Doak lists an aspect of a course then lists courses that are the best at that aspect.

These are wonderful books and will bring the owner hours of enjoyment.

This copy is in 75% condition. There's damage at the front corners of the dustcover and slight damage to the lower right corner of the hardcover. The rest of the book is nearly perfect. This book has a strange printing error. Under the review of the Garden City course in the 31 Flavors section the heading is correct but the copy is the review of the Durban Country Club. Th review of the urban CC in that section is fine.

I'm asking $400.00 plus shipping for this copy of the book.

I accept only Paypal and I will pay the fees.

Thank you, Mike.

Really interested in the second. Could you create a second thread for the first? That way you can close the listing when one of them sells.

I split it into two ads. Can you please edit the title to eliminate "Two copies of".

Please let me know if you want to discuss buying the book. Also, thank you for this wonderful site!

Thank you, Mike.
