"Darius scores again with Planet Golf!" according to Valuable Book. I own Darius Oliver's previous books on great golf courses and was very pleased to see that his winning streak continues with the "Modern Masterpiece" book. We are blessed to live in an era where golf course architecture is experiencing a renaissance and Oliver captures the essence of it perfectly. As usual, the stunning photography of the book is accompanied by thoughtful and well researched prose. It was especially interesting to look in depth at the new courses in New Zealand and Australia that make the golfer lust to fly Down Under.
