The Match is an excellent book and Mark Frost tells a great story about the players and Cypress Point. He blends a great story line about the match with the life story of the 4 players. The book is better if you've been lucky enough to have played Cypress Point as I have but it's a wonderful read even if you haven't. I think the "Greatest Game Ever Played" by Mark Frost is the better book however as I think that is the best sports book/story I have ever read. As a side note if you're interested in the beginnings of golf in Scotland, especially St. Andrews "Tommy's Honor" is a must read by Kevin Cook.
This book was recommended to me and it certainly lived up to the recommendation. If you like golf and especially remember people like Ken Venturi, you will love this book. It was very interesting, very informative, yet an easy read. I highly recommend The Match!

you will like the Match. Actually I bought this book for the Ken Venturi autograph. I had read it years ago and enjoyed it a lot.

The real issue behind this tale would be difficult for the money-grubbing Jesuit-, Jew-, Mormon-, trained to understand. Amateur v Professional. Too much of a chance for anachronisms to surface. Then was then. Now is now. Not enough open-mindedness among most today.

A story I would have never heard of without this book. I love learning about the history and great players of golf and this took a deep dive into it while telling a thrilling story.
