Driving the Green
The Making of a Golf Course
John Strawn

"The best (and only) book of its kind."-Turk Pipkin, author of Fast Greens.

"A wonderful account of two of our great national sports, playing golf and wheeling and dealing in commercial real estate." -David Halberstam

In the tradition of John McPhee and Tracy Kidder, John Strawn' s book is a brilliant analysis of how a golf course is built in the Florida scrubland and of the people who assemble for its creation. A must-read for any golfer - or for anyone interested in how complex things come to be.
