Extreme Golf is a captivating journey through the world's most geographically extreme, climatically challenging, dangerous and uniquely designed courses. From the sweltering courses of the desert to the freezing ice golf championships in Greenland, and from the erotically shaped bunkers in lush surroundings in France to the harsh surfaces in Kabul, golf is clearly no longer the elite sport it once was. Today's golfers (at least the ones not wearing plaid pants) are looking for the extreme-where the rough is patrolled by wild animals and the greens are sometimes white. This lushly illustrated book features more than 200 breathtaking and often hilarious photographs capturing the true spirit of extreme golf, accompanied by light-hearted and engaging text. Including an appendix listing the unusual courses around the world (in case you'd like to make a tee time), Extreme Golf's chapters include: - Location,Location, Location (out of the way places in the world) - Courses for Concern (difficult due to geographic oddities) - Golf by Design (in which the course designer influences the extreme setup) - In the Rough (really hard courses in really strange places)

When the European sport of golf found its way to Long Island and took root in the Hamptons at Shinnecock Hills in 1891, its journey across the Atlantic served as the opening drive of a recreational era that now spans three centuries. Home to more than 130 golf courses, the area boasts prestigious American clubs overlooking picturesque Atlantic bays and inlets, along with public layouts climbing and descending the region's sloping terrain. Long Island is home to the most popular municipal golf facility in the country, the centerpiece of which is Bethpage Black, "the People's Country Club." Celebrated architects like A.W. Tillinghast, Devereux Emmet, Seth Raynor, and C.B. Macdonald built many of Long Island's famous courses, which have challenged the brightest of golf's stars. International tournaments and star-studded exhibitions have all been decided on Long Island turf, helping it grow into one of the world's most prominent golf settings.

Golf is no longer the elite sport it once was. Its ever increasing popularity has led to players searching out more novel and adrenaline-fuelled ways to play the game. Traditional courses are no longer enough for many of today’s golfers – they are looking for clean extreme – where the rough is patrolled by animals and the greens are sometimes whites. From sweltering courses in the desert to the freezing cold ice golf championships in Greenland, and from eroticly shaped bunkers in lush surroundings in France to harsh and hazardous surfaces in Kabul, ‘Extreme Golf’ is a journey around the world’s most geographically extreme, climatically challenging, dangerous and uniquely designed courses. Divided into four chapters – ‘Location Location Location’, ‘In the Rough’, ‘Courses for Concern’ and ‘Golf by Design’ – this book will open the eyes of both the well-practised and armchair golfer. Duncan Lennard’s light-hearted and engaging text is accompanied by breathtaking and often humorous photographs capturing the true spirit of extreme golf. In addition there are quotes interspersed throughout from golfers who have played on the courses and a gazetteer at the back of the book giving information on all the courses included and many more.
