I would say that this is a complete Encyclopedia for golf lovers. By way of Quizzes and pictorial presentation author has given an overall look to the Golf. There are so many details on Various golf courses, details of Tee boxes, holes, fairway etc.. I liked the clubs in the hands of golfers, must be tailor-made.
Tiger wood is someone knowing whom I got introduced to this sport. There are many other golfers also who been told about but either by mistake or more intentionally, Indian Golfers were excluded. I, though, would like to highlight top few with their aura for author's knowledge.

It is been so long before when west was neglecting Indians but still u can't step aside their achievements and contribution to any field.
Overall, this is good quiz book.
This was so much fun! My son is a huge golfer and I absolutely loved quizzing him….
A perfect book for any golfer and would make a great gift! Packed full with golf trivia and stunning pictures.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to preview this in exchange for an honest review. I truly enjoyed it!
Any avid golfer should enjoy this book. It is a great way to test one's golf knowledge. I know my husband would thoroughly enjoy all of the questions along with the great photos that accompany them. I can't wait to have him try and answer off the questions to see how well he does.
Ordered this for my son who is an enthusiast and we both really enjoyed it.
Quirky and a lot of fun.
As someone who had no interest or knowledge of golf, this was fun to do with my husband who is an avid (and very well player) of golf. I enjoyed quizzing him and was surprised I knew some answers as well. It was a great bonding experience and loved listening to him answer and talk about something he is totally passionate about. I now have a better appreciation for golf!
5/5 Stars!!! Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Ivy Press for this eARCH of The Golf Quizbook by Frank Hopkinson.
I hate to admit this but I mainly was interested in this book because of my husband. He's such a trivial dude that I had to get this to question his golf knowledge. I'm not lying when I say that he LOVES this book. The pictures and the layout of the golf courses...omg, I've never seen a grown man educating me on which course is which and the player's names and the golf clubs used for this situation and that. I HIGHLY recommend getting this book for all them golf hubbies out there.
I’m not a golfing fan myself but my Husband and Dad are massive fans and I wanted to check this out to see whether it would be worth purchasing for them as a gift.
Well I can assure you it definitely is, I feel like it’ll test their knowledge and also fill in gaps of things they didn’t know before.
Think this is one that’ll get brought out at family get togethers again and again.
