Golf is no longer the elite sport it once was. Its ever increasing popularity has led to players searching out more novel & adrenaline-fuelled ways to play the game. Traditional courses are no longer enough for many of todays golfers -- they are looking for clean extreme -- where the rough is patrolled by animals & the greens are sometimes whites. From sweltering courses in the desert to the freezing cold ice golf championships in Greenland & from eroticly shaped bunkers in lush surroundings in France to harsh & hazardous surfaces in Kabul Extreme Golf is a journey around the worlds most geographically extreme climatically challenging dangerous & uniquely designed courses. Divided into four chapters -- Location Location Location In the Rough Courses for Concern & Golf by Design -- this book will open the eyes of both the well-practised & armchair golfer. Duncan Lennards light-hearted & engaging text is accompanied by breathtaking & often humorous photographs capturing the true spirit of extreme golf. In addition there are"es interspersed throughout from golfers who have played on the courses & a gazetteer at the back of the book giving information on all the courses included & many more.
