About the book

Robert Trent Jones was the most prolific and influential golf course architect of the twentieth century and became the archetypical modern golf course designer. Jones spread the gospel of golf by designing courses in forty-two US states and twenty-eight countries. Twenty U.S. Opens, America's national championship, have been contested on Jones-designed courses. Recounts how an English immigrant boy arrived in upstate New York in 1912, just as golf was emerging as a popular pastime in America.
