GOLF IN HOLLYWOOD
Where the Stars Come Out to Play
by Robert Z. Chew and David D. Pavoni
Golf in Hollywood is an entertaining
romp on the fairways of the world's favorite town. Filled with more
than one hundred historical photographs, Golf in Hollywood
shares the pleasures of the game, along with candid shots of some of
filmland's biggest names as they take their turns at the tee. From the
archives of Hollywood's most exclusive country clubs, rare photos and
even rarer stories detail great moments on world-renowned courses.
You'll read about Howard Hughes landing his plane on the links at
Bel-Air Country Club so he wouldn't miss a date with Kate Hepburn,
about Clark Gable's hole in one, about O.J. barred from the Riviera.
Learn how Mysterious Montague became the star's star on the
country-club circuit during Hollywood's Golden Era -- and how he had a
huge impact on Kevin Costner's hit movie Tin Cup. See Jack
Nicholson at the Los Angeles Police Department's Celebrity Charity Golf
Tournament. Watch Will Smith take some practice swings. Get the inside
story on Bill Murray, George Clooney and Sylvester Stallone and their
games. Golf in Hollywood is a resounding tribute to the
game and the stars who play it.
- ". . . Golf in Hollywood not only names
names, it dares to reveal handicaps." -- Jeff Silverman
Robert Z. Chew is an avid golfer and club champion at
Bel-Air Country Club. When not on the golf course, he can be found at
the offices of his public-relations firm in Los Angeles and Scottsdale. David
D. Pavoni, a self-described "high handicap" golfer, has
written for several television shows.
