The Magnificent Masters: Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Tom Weiskopf, and the 1975 Cliffhanger at Augusta

This is a good book. The author set the mood and atmosphere well and provided some worthy background on Johnny Miller and Tom Weiskopf. I had forgotten about Miller's brother dying at such a young age. And I have a new appreciation for Weiskopf. The tournament itself was covered nicely and its impact toward future Masters tournaments was also delineated.My only qualm that prevented a five-star rating is the author needed some "light" editing assistance. He has too many minor errors that took away from the presentation. For someone so highly-regarded in the field of research, etc. to point out Nicklaus finished second in the Canadian Open "six" times, when the real number is seven, is unfortunate. If he didn't have the correct number, don't point it out. In addition, the sun will "peek" through clouds, not "peak". There are others sprinkled throughout.However, for this generation of golf fans who only know Tiger, Phil, etc., this is highly-recommended to let them know a little of the game's rich history and its great players from the past.

What a great tournament. It was probably the best Masters finish ever. The author Gil Capps did a "Masterful" job of setting the stage for the final round on Sunday. In building up to that final round, he gave us considerable background on the Masters tournament and the top players, especially the three who could have won Sunday--Johnny Miller, Tom Weiskoff, and Jack Nicklaus. This outstanding book did remind me of another great golf book--The Match in which Hogan and Nelson took on Ward and Venturi. One other oddity. When I finished the Kindle book and the Review form popped up, my Kindle said I was at 72% completion.

Read the book and watch the youtube.com video concurrently!!

Great account of a great sporting event! If you love golf you will love this book. I learned some very interesting things about all 3 that I did not know!

I simply couldn't put it down. I'm from Columbus and have followed The Golden Bear's career and have often wondered why Tom Weiskopf and Johnny Miller's careers never reached the mountop. Well, this book clearly provides the answers especially from very interesting recent insights from the players themselves and many others. Weiskopf and Miler are very candid with their thoughts then and now! Great stuff and a very quick reading prose. Read it this week in preparation for "A tradition unlike any other: The Masters". You'll be fired up and ready to go this Thursday!

Great book, crummy central character, great writer

Wonderful thrilling account of life and golf for some of the best champions in golf history. A must read for any serious enthusiast.

Very good book about a great tournament. I remember watching this as a 24-year old, but this book contained a bunch of information I had either forgotten or never heard before. And very well-researched. Excellent in-depth profiles of Nicklaus, Weiskopf and Miller. And the author also profiles several other players of that time.

A great perspective of the greatest golf tournament competed for. To have such renowned golfers share their experiences helps define the course and the importance of the tournament. Great read.

I am a big fan of Jack Nicklaus，but I only got watch his play live from the 1980 US Open.This is a well written book for golf fans and student of the game.

Quick delivery and a really good read.

Brilliant book, well researched and well written.

A very enjoyable read. Remember watching it on TV and the book brought back memories of a great golf tournament
