The Shot

Excellent Book — I Didn’t Realize Golf Architecture Could Be So Interesting

I bought two copies of this book, one for my fellow golf-obsessed buddy, and one for myself. I very much enjoyed the content, lots of good history nuggets and plenty of insight into the world of professional golf. This book sent me on a handful of YouTube and Wikipedia rabbit holes to do additional research on the people and courses mentioned—to me, the mark of an interesting and engaging narrative. My only complaint is the editing. I felt it was well edited for content, but numerous typos throughout were distracting. I assume this is the first printing—once the type mistakes are shored up I will have zero complaints. Overall, my complaints didn’t really affect my experience. Nice work, and thanks for the signed copy, Mr. Millard!

The Shot and a Treasure Trove

Loved the book. Millard's style is so readable and enjoyable, and takes historical detail and distills it ways that make facts exciting. His book opened a Treasure Trove of facts and historical knowledge that any avid golfer or golf historian will savor.

Great Read

Chris Millard has a way with words that brought the story to life. Enjoyed the history lesson of a golf hole as well golf legends. Really enjoyed The Shot!
