Hurdzan—to be the exclusive US distributor of their new book, "Golf Course Design: An Annotated Bibliography with Highlights of its History and Resources," it was announced by Michael P. Beckerich, publisher and owner of Classics of Golf, and H.R. J. Grant, head of Grant Books in England, publisher of the Cornish/Hurdzan Bibliography.
