Tennessee Golf Almanac and Record Book Now Available

Franklin, Tenn. - Author Gene Pearce of Jackson, Tenn. has written another Tennessee golf history book that details records pertaining to all State tournaments, Tennessee Golf Hall of Fame inductees, award winners, association presidents and more.

The 2006 Tennessee Golf Almanac and Record Book is a 160-page, soft cover book packed with information relating to everything golf in the Volunteer State. If you and a golf buddy have ever argued over who won what tournament and what he/she scored, now you have an easy way to settle the argument.

The book begins with “Milestones in Tennessee Golf,” to give the reader a brief outline of the history of the great sport in Tennessee and from there recounts the professional and amateur championships for men, women and juniors. Each championship has its own chapter that begins with an account of the current championship and winner (2005) including complete leader board results. The past champions and sites, multiple winners and tournament records for each of the championships is also listed.

Pearce’s first venture as an author was “The History of Tennessee Golf: 1894-2001” which was an impressive 494-page hardcover book featuring stories about numerous individuals and events that shaped the game of golf in Tennessee. Other literary efforts include: Southern Golf Association: The First Hundred Years; Field of Dreamers: Celebrating Tennessee High School Sports; and Boys in Black: Basketball’s Greatest David and Goliath Story.

“Gene’s attention to detail and determination to preserve the history of Tennessee golf has been truly amazing,” said Dick Horton, executive director of both the Tennessee Golf Association and Tennessee Section PGA for the past 35 years. “His commitment to this project is greatly appreciated by all golf aficionados.”

The 2006 Tennessee Golf Almanac and Record Book is the quintessential reference book that all Tennessee golfers, golf shops, and libraries should have on hand.
