Planet Golf USA named 2009 Golf Book of the Year

Written and published by ausgolf's Darius Oliver, Planet Golf USA has been named the #1 Golf Book for 2009 by GOLF Magazine in America. Senior editor Joe Passov noted that ‘PLANET GOLF USA works perfectly on every level. One of golf design's most astute critics, Australian Darius Oliver, has carved out a superb sequel to his original compendium of the world's best courses.’ He added ‘What separates-and elevates-this book from other coffee table tomes is the author's insights and candor. Oliver doesn't pull punches, even tweaking the Top 100s where he sees fit, including our own at GOLF Magazine. Agree or disagree, you'll find yourself totally engaged.’
