The Grand Slam

release date: Sep 01, 2004
The Grand Slam
New York Times–Bestselling Author: "Plenty of fascinating backstory, both about [Bobby] Jones'' young life as a golf phenom and about the sports-crazy 1920s." — Booklist A Los Angeles Times Bestseller In the wake of the stock market crash and the dawn of the Great Depression, a ray of light emerged from the world of sports in the summer of 1930. Bobby Jones, a twenty-eight-year-old amateur golfer, mounted a campaign against the record books. In four months, he conquered the British Amateur Championship, the British Open, the United States Open, and finally the United States Amateur Championship, an achievement so extraordinary that writers dubbed it the Grand Slam. To this day no other golfer has accomplished it in a single year. Mark Frost, author of The Match and The Greatest Game Ever Played, uses a wealth of original research to provide an unprecedented intimate portrait of golf great Bobby Jones. Blending a vivid portrait of the era with sports biography, The Grand Slam is "an excellent book of golf history" ( Booklist). "[Frost] has a gift for dramatizing historic golf matches and making them seem suspenseful all over again . . . the book is full of vivid portraits of figures like Ted Ray, fighting his twitchy putting stroke; Harry Vardon, puffing his pipe even as he swung from his heels; and the beautifully tailored Walter Hagen." — The New York Times "A swift, surefooted account of Jones''s remarkable life and career . . . for the literate duffer, this is a hole in one." — Publishers Weekly

The Greatest Game Ever Played
rancis Ouimet and Harry Vardon came from different worlds and different generations, but their passion for golf set them on parallel paths that would collide in the greatest match their sport had ever known. A young Massachusetts native, Francis was only three years removed from his youthful career as a lowly caddie. Harry was twice his age, the greatest British champion in history, and innovator of the modern grip and swing. Through exacting hard work, perseverance, and determination, Vardon had escaped a hopeless life of poverty; the unknown Ouimet dared to dream of following in his hero''s footsteps. When the two men finally came together in their legendary battle at the 1913 U.S. Open, its heartstopping climax gave rise to the sport of golf as we know it today. Weaving the stories of Ouimet and Vardon as his narrative, Mark Frost creates a uniquely involving, intimate epic; equal parts sports biography, sweeping social history, and emotional human drama. Including historical photographs, The Greatest Game Ever Played is sure to be a must-read for millions of sports and history fans, and all who have ever dared to reach for their dreams.
