'Phil Tresidder's writing brought to life the game of golf and its characters.' JACK NICKLAUS For several decades Phil Tresidder was considered the doyen of Australian golf writers. The pieces here, culled from both his published and unpublished work, show the astonishing versatility of his writing, and his remarkable access to the greats of the golfing world. Among the gems in Phil Tresidder on Golf are a riveting description of playing the famous Augusta course with Gary Player the morning after he became the oldest person to win the US Masters; personal glimpses into the lives and games of the golfing legends of the past Norman von Nida ('The Von'), Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Peter Thomson. As well as Tiger Woods, Ian Woosnam, Brett Ogle and a host of other present day golfers and would-be golfers. Memorable golf courses from Australia to Austria, Augusta to the Melbourne sandbelt sportsmen, showbiz eccentrics, caddies and committeemen; all come under Tresidder's shrewd but always affectionate gaze.
Phil Tresidder was widely regarded as one of the greatest of Australia's sports writers/reporters. He was best known as this country's foremost golf writers, and his sudden death in October 2003 has been mourned by many friends in the golfing world. For more than 30 years he was a friend and confidant to many of the world's leading golfers. He was ghost writer for Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player when they were contracted to provide newspaper columns. Phil wrote for Australian Golf Digest and was the author of more than 10 books on sport, especially golf and cricket and covered the famous Bradman Tour of 1948.
