Having personally played all these courses, the author describes each in exacting detail, lists courses by region, and recommends the best courses for both beginners and women. For each course, ratings, slopes, and pars for every hole are provided. Those of special note are examined more thoroughly, and advice is given on the best ways to play them. With an abundance and variety of courses, combined with a central location near the nation's capital, Virginia and West Virginia are becoming two of the golfing capitals of the United States. Golfing the Virginias is the only guide anyone will ever need to the multitude of courses found in the Old Dominion. |
Contributor Bio(s): Armstrong, Robert: - Author Rob Armstrong has drawn a series of interesting and informative word portraits, buttressed by photos and course maps, of the best resort and daily-fee golf courses in Virginia and West Virginia. For nearly twenty-five years, Armstrong was an award-winning correspondent for CBS News. He now contributes to various golf publications, teaches at Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, and tries to keep his handicap in the single digits. His yearly jaunts to the Emerald Isle to hit the links led him to write Golfing in Ireland: The Most Complete Guide for Adventurous Golfers, also published by Pelican. |
