content: I have had the opportunity to play some great courses. Before I go to a well known course, I go to this book and review the holes I am going to play. The pictures are fantastic and the history is great. Lastly, before I took a trip to France, I took out this book and reviewed the potential courses. It was a great starting point to put the itinerary together and we played some beautiful courses. This is a great gift for any avid golfer.
