The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses by Tom Doak
1988 1st Edition of only 40! Personally Gifted by Doak
We have the extreme privilege of offering what may be the only 1st Edition of Tom Doak's The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses that you will ever see offered for sale. Even later editions are rare, but exactly how many 1st Editions of this now-iconic book were published? Only 40.
Yep, here is one of those original 40 copies of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses.
This 1988 1st Edition was crudely made on a home printer (yes, seriously) by Doak and then given to friends. This example was given to golf photographer Larry Petrillo. It contains a signature from Doak, who dated the book "Christmas 1988". This "book" is also hand dated by Doak as number 28 of 40.
