Short description
Pioppi and Gonsalves recount the ghosts, hauntings, and other strange happenings on golf courses around the world.
Long description
The world of golf is rife with unexplainable happenings that seemingly defy the rules of gravity and logic--badly hit shots last seen disappearing into a grove of trees, only to be rediscovered on the putting green. And what of those perfectly struck drives that rocketed into the crisp blue beyond never to be seen again? Players have learned to lay blame on the Golf Gods, and go about their rounds. There are, however, the other stories--tales of apparitions gliding across a course, unexplained noises emanating from uninhabited rooms of a clubhouse, or the phantom golfer who appears out of nowhere to play a shot and vanishes just as suddenly. Haunted Golf explores such stories from the clubhouses of New England to the fairways of New Orleans to the links of Great Britain. Bringing readers on a journey that will enlighten, entertain, and send shivers, it also delves into the history and flavor of the locations, painting evocative portraits of the courses and the communities. The book includes a foreword by English golfer and golf analyst Peter Oosterhuis.
