?Golfers wanting to know the colourful stories at the back of names like Alcatraz, Biarritz, Cleopatra, Dell, Eden, Postage Stamp, and Redan can now turn to the only book ever devoted exclusively to the par-three hole. In Golf’s Finest Par Threes Tony Roberts and Michael Bartlett have assembled what they call a “an exemplary choice of probably the most spectacular, historic, challenging, and peculiar one-shot holes on the earth.” The heart of the book is the authors’ list of the 100 greatest par threes on the planet, chosen from thousands they’ve seen all over more than 30 years profiling and photographing golf courses. These are designated as gold and silver, and arranged by design and geographical categories such as links, island and peninsula, blind, drop shot, and more. Striking photography and fact-filled profiles combine to reveal the distinct character of each and every hole. Golf’s Finest Par Threes also explains how the greatest course designers – notably, Macdonald, Colt, Tillinghast, MacKenzie, Ross, Thomas, Jones, Fazio, Nicklaus, Dye, and Doak – have created par threes. A closing section offers new perspectives at the one-shot hole: “Best Sets” and “Out-of-the-Box” threes, historic shots on par threes, and more. Golf’s Finest Par Threes is a beautifully packaged tour of golf’s great short holes, one guaranteed to inform, entertain, and provoke energetic debate about what makes a par three superior and memorable.
