Sunningdale Golf Club, 1900-2000
Edition/Year: 20o0, 1st Edition, Hardcover 211 pages
Condition: very good
Notes: A heathland course outside London, Sunningdale is ranked by Golf
Digest as #44 of the top 100 courses in the world. It has had the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of York as captains of the club. Sunningdale has two great
courses, one designed by former Open champion Willie Park Jr. and the other by
H.S. Colt. Both are spectacular. It was on Sunningdale that Bobby Jones shot
what has been described as the perfect round of golf. In an Open qualifying
round in 1926 using hickory-shafted clubs Jones shot a 66 with 33 putts and 33
other strokes, with only 3s and 4s recorded. Jones's description of the round
makes this one special book to have on the shelf.
