From the psyche of John Makdirm, the fragile to continuous excellence Jack Nickelus and Woods tiger – or Woods and Nickelos; There is no spoiler here on who is No. 1 – This countdown to the best golf players is a lower list of insight and vital features that revolve with stories that focus on their happiest and miserable moments.
“The Golf 100: A vibrant classification for the greatest players in all ages” is the sixteenth title of the author Michael ArkoshMost of them are the world of sports, including the best -selling books in the New York Times.Last season” with Phil Jackson And “and”The big battle” with Sugar Ray Leonard. All this is Arkush and displays the story of stories-some sweet, some delicious, and some bitterness-in cutting the size of the sting.
It includes great people from the early twentieth century. It includes great countries from other countries. It includes women. Why? Because their stories are convincing, even if their arrangement becomes messy.
So, yes, there are 100 in all, distributed over 366 pages.
Lists of the greatest golf players are not new. Golf Day It was published one year ago. Golf Digest She has her property. People have lists designed on I responded. Ovarian Take a swing. There is even the site TheultimegreatestoFers.com.
Times athlete Houston Mitchell I got more than 12,000 readers to respond in 2009 Survey of golf players poll. The top five is among the 10 best Arkosch, although it is not remotely in the same order.
Most of the classifications depend on points systems, as they are determined by weighted numbers for categories such as the total championships he won, the highest 10 finishes, the prizes of the Player of the Year, the length of the job and the performance in the four specializations- We are openand Masterand British Open and PGA starring.
Arkush gave priority to specializations, and writing in front is “characterized by the strongest fields, and more often, they are shown in the most demanding sessions. When history is at stake.”
However, Arkush allowed himself to license after covering a 30 -year professional golf (he was a recreational correspondent for times from 1988 to 1995). Once the numbers are scheduled, he mixed the deck by using self -standards such as the effect of a golf player or sports contributions.
“I was similar to an oath, despite a strict warning of the judge not to allow evidence that is unacceptable as a factor in the ruling, he could not help in influencing his thinking one way or another,” Arkosh wrote.
An example is its inclusion Francis UmetAn unfamiliar name for everyone except for the most dangerous golf enthusiasts. In 1913 he won the length of 1913 at the age of twenty Harry FardonBritish Golf Titan is credited with inventing a modern fist and swing. Bobby JonesThe example of the chapter, and the pendulum quickly swing to the American side of the Atlantic Ocean.
Like many writers, Arkush was hate to allow numbers to be exposed to good threads, starting with the MCDERMOTT classification in No. 100. The Smile Son for the postman became the first American to win the United States Open in 1911 – at the age of 19 – one year after he ranked second in the Scottish migrant Alex Smith, telling him while they left the course,
He soon made Mail Makdirmut to empty him in trouble, and this was followed by sharp fall. He was embarrassed more than his citizens with pride in his open victories in the presence of Fardone. Najat boat then saved him after he was a victim of the shipwreck. Then he lost a fortune in the stock market. Then he was committed to my bank in 1916 and was never himself.
Arkush concludes the profile that describes the opportunity to meet between the elderly McDermott and Karima Arnold Palmer This provides an impressive relationship between the childhood of the professional golf in America and its height in the position to “to”Army show meThe level by 1970.
Only 99 to go.
The list includes 15 women, Trailblazers and Champions like Mickey WrightAnd that included the victories of 82 rounds of 13 specialties, their games were praised as the best person regardless of sex with no less than Bin Hujan.
The pioneers of this sport, who were planted firmly in Wilsbring in Scotland in the nineteenth century, are granted their dues. While the union and the Confederate armies were preparing for the war through the blessing, Willie Park Junior and Old Tom Morris Raqqa and efficiency decline on the green, which dominates the British Open since its establishment in 1860 until more than a decade.
The old Morris passed on Walking Nepales Early period for seven iron – for his talented son, with the same extent, Yong Tom MorrisWho won the open British four times from 1868 to 1872. They are the only liberation and narration between the father and the son from 100.
The Americans began to keep alone by the twenties of the last century, and the popular golf game as a spectator sport to this day increased. It is also an endeavor that almost anyone can try.
A hundred is a somewhat arbitrary number to achieve excellence, influence and irresistible story. It is a lot for Arkush, though, linking the history of golf through the best golf players.
As for the thorny task of comparing the golf players across generations and even centuries, Arkush tends to the wisdom of Jones, whose words can be settled somewhat to include women and men:
