Title: A Clifford Roberts Love-In
Product review: Too bad the wonderful nuggets about Augusta that Owens has dug up are mired in a non-stop paean to Clifford Roberts. Examples of Robert's usually controversial, sometimes appalling behavior seem brought up for the express purpose of explaining them away, and then always with a very sympathetic eye. It often reads that the only way Owens got so much good 'behind-the-scenes' info from Augusta was by agreeing to write a soft, agreeable portrait of the club co-founder.That being said, it is still an interesting read. Owens' writing and research are first-rate, and his debunking of early Masters mythology is especially interesting. However fans more interested in tourney lore (the 'Masters' part of the title) should look elsewhere.
