Description
If you're planning to go golfing even once this year, consult the good book first—the Cleveland Golfer's Bible. Now in it's fifth edition (and fully updated for 2002), this long-time golfer's favorite has everything you need to know about public courses in the Cleveland area—not only addresses, phone numbers, and price comparisons, but even nitty-gritty details like slope, pace, and total yardage. Put that together with straight-talking author John Tidyman's course descriptions and highlights, and you'll really know what to expect when you hit the links.

Before he joined the Cleveland Press as a reporter, Tidyman worked as a waiter, a warehouseman, and an air freight agent. He is the author of eight books and has also written for almost every area publication. More About John H. Tidyman
