Finally available again — in hardcover, and signed by the author. Driven to Extremes: Uncommon Tales from Golf's Unmanicured Terrain is a wide-ranging and irreverent collection of stories that depict golf as an adventure sport. Travel to St. Andrews, the west coast of Ireland, Bandon Dunes, the red rock of Moab, the foothills of Nepal, and beyond; take lessons from some of golf's most off-beat instructors; and hang with personalities as varied as Robert Trent Jones, Jr., Tim Galley, and the plaid-wearing members of the American Association of Golf Course Architects. Many of these stories originally appeared in Sports Illustrated, Inside Golf, Travel + Leisure Golf, and other top national publications. Originally published in hardcover by Burford Books, this is a small-press classic of the literary golf shelf — shipped personally, and signed, from the author's desk in Portland, Oregon. "I admire anybody who loves the game and writes about it as expertly as Jeff Wallach does. This diverse collection of entertaining glimpses into the wide world of golf — its vaunted shrines, out of the way places, and eccentric figures — reads like a scorecard that breaks seventy. I enjoyed it immensely." — Jim Dodson, author of Final Rounds Show more
