"While there are critics who believe my courses are too difficult," writes Pete Dye, "the ardent golfer would play Mount Everest if somebody put a flagstick on top. . . . Unless a few golf professionals are bellyaching about my course design, I wonder whether I've done enough to challenge them." To the millions of golfers who have played his world-famous courses, Pete Dye is either a creative genius or a demonic tormentor. To play well on Pete's courses, or on any of those influenced by his ideas, you have to know Pete. Bury Me in a Pot Bunker is his own story of how he revolutionized his favorite game by designing courses that both delight and bedevil golfers. Peter and his talented wife, Alice, convert dull ground and swamps into beautiful by deadly course filled with Scotland-style mounds, deep pot bunkers, railroad ties, and tiny "target-golf" greens. Bury Me in a Pot Bunker tells the intimate story of how Pete Dye designed his celebrated courses and includes entertaining anecdotes about some of the greatest golfers in the world. It also captures Pete's essence as a humble, give-the-credit-to-someone-else gentleman whose sense of humor and optimism are legendary. Some of Pete's famous courses include Harbour Town Golf Links, Crooked Stick, The Stadium Course at TPC, The Ocean Course at Kiawah, Teeth of the Dog, Oak Tree, The Stadium Course at PGA West, and Whistling Straits. What the experts say about Pete Dye: He created some of the world's top courses [and] had a profound impact on late-twentieth-century course architecture." -- Geoffrey S. Cornish and Ronald E. Whitten The Architects of Golf "This is Star Wars golf. This place was designed by Darth Vadar." -- Ben Crenshaw on the Stadium Course at TCP Pete Dye is one of the world's leading golf course designers. For over thirty years his courses have challenged ardent amateurs and PGA Tour professionals alike. A long-running American Express campaign dubbed him "The Man Golfers Love to Hate."

Packed with inside information about how World Golf Hall of Famer Pete Dye hoodwinks golfers of all skill levels, Bury Me In A Pot Bunker presents valuable tips to strategically play Dye's courses and any courses through understanding the architect's bedeviling mindset. Also included are Pete's design philosophies as well as humorous "Dye-isms" chronicling Dye's remarkable career. "Most Pete Dye courses are mental challenges more than physical." - Rory Mcllroy "The way Pete gets on a property and feels it is pretty impressive. His courses built for tournaments are hard, but there's a good reason behind everything. We've talked for hours. To get his opinion has been invaluable." - Tiger Woods "No other [golf course] designer continues to re-invent his architecture the way Pete Dye does." - Ron Whitten -Golf Digest "Pete Dye - the most loved, hated, and imitated golf-course architect of the past fifty years." - PGA Magazine "[Pete Dye's] self-effacing, aw-shucks approach to the game belies an artistry that reached into golf's past and made it relevant for the future. More by accident than design, he proved himself to be a genius." - Bradley S. Klein - Golfweek "By acclamation, the master of psychological course design among modern golf course architects." - Tom Doak, Renowned Golf Course Architect

This gorgeously photographed book offers a window into the finest courses in the UK and Ireland, with relatable tips and amusing commentary for the average golfer. Most golfers only dream of playing at St. Andrews, Ballybunion, Turnberry, or Royal County Down. With incomparable history, unique traditions, and ferociously beautiful seaside landscapes, it's no wonder that the British Isles are home to some of the most celebrated golf courses in the world. Peter Gray, a middle handicapper and weekend warrior, has nonetheless golfed his way around the UK and Ireland and has the misadventures to prove it: from a disaster on the legendary "Road Hole" at Old Course in St. Andrews, to braving gale force winds at Muirfield (characterized by locals as "a spot of bother"), and even being urged to drink an entire bottle of Jameson 18-year-old whiskey after a round at Lahinch to cure a fierce case of the shanks (it worked). Part amusing travelogue, part scenic showcase, Golfing the British Isles: The Weekend Warrior's Companion brims with the same beauty, character, and sheer fun exemplified by the courses it depicts. Featuring breathtaking photography from Gary Lisbon alongside insightful commentary and practical guidance, this distinctive book will have golf enthusiasts packing their clubs, booking tee times, and charting their own pilgrimage in celebration of this singular game.

Spiritual writer Thomas Merton is the most influential American Catholic author of the twentieth century. Despite appearances to the contrary, in 1966 he was a troubled, lonely monk. Only when the suffering Merton fell madly in love with a student nurse, a forbidden, erotic affair condemned by the Catholic Church, would he discover whether his devotion to God was stronger than his dedication to the woman he called "a miracle in my life." Truly an inspirational story based on Merton's personal journals, new information and sources such as fellow monks, Beneath the Mask of Holiness presents a unique portrayal of the famous man, one never revealed in its entirety before.

All the history, tradition, agony, and ecstasy of golf shine through in these words by players, professional and amateur. Organized into categories such as “Golf Defined,” “The Mental Game,” and “Caddies,” the quotes come from such links lovers as Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and more. Some are modest (“I don’t know if you’re ever finished trying to improve”—Woods), others supremely confident (“I don’t know why you’re practicing so hard to finish second”—Babe Zaharias to her competitors), and they’re all fun.
