Technology has relegated polished wooden drivers and wound balls covered with balata to the dustbin of history. The world's great courses have been stretched unfathomable lengths to counter the game's modern champions and the distances they hit the ball. In the end, though, it still comes down to the players. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jim Moriarty has focused his attention on the glory, sacrifice, success, and despair of these champions. In \u003ci\u003ePlaying Through\u003c\/i\u003e, he captures the essence of this most recent, most transformative chapter in golf's long history. He writes of the last great rivalry: Jack Nicklaus versus Tom Watson; the rise of the European juggernaut with Seve Ballesteros and Nick Faldo; the Ryder Cup spectacles of 1999 and 2012 and the romance of team golf; the tragic loss of Payne Stewart and Ballesteros, both gone too soon; the emergence of the Australians, South Africans, South Americans, and Pacific Rim players in the Presidents Cup; and the man who ruled golf, Tiger Woods. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Golf may have changed in the last thirty-five years, but Moriarty's words show that no matter how far the ball flies, it still pits players against themselves, the elements, and their opponents to remain the game we all know and love. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePurchase the audio edition.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Moriarty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803278659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803278653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Nebraska Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.09h x 6.33w x 1.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2016 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/07\/2016","brand":"Jim Moriarty","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045192298751,"sku":"9780803278653","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_39a77677-1258-43db-80f3-a06d9c5d62cc.jpg?v=1684977284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/playing-through-jim-moriarty-9780803278653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
