Preparing for the upcoming battle, in solitude. Photograph by Peter Mason, Getty Images.The following is a sample of what people have written about Paul and his books …

 
‘On behalf of Cricket Australia, I wish you every success for your exciting project.’
David Steinhardt, licensing manager
 
‘Paul, first Hole-in-One … now Tons of Runs; talk about being on a roll. The sheer work doesn’t bare thinking about, but your tenacity and attention to detail will see you through. On a personal note, it’s a huge thrill for a sports addict like me to be listed in both books.’
Paul Donohue, company director
 
‘Your Tons of Runs publication is destined to be a great success. Not only will it stimulate enormous interest among cricketers; it’s an extremely worthwhile publishing venture and a very decent thing to do.’
Jonathan McCleery, bank executive
 
‘If the expression, “books are windows to the world” is a truism, then nowhere is that more true than in the books on golf-course architecture by Paul Daley. This is his fourth volume in a series that didn’t seem as if it could get any better from the start, but did … and that is the opinion of someone, me, who designs golf courses and is a voracious reader and collector of everything written on the subject.’
Dr Michael J. Hurdzan, golf-course architect
 
‘Congratulations on your Hole-in-One enterprise; I think it is sensational, especially for a family of “golf nuts” like us.’
Chris Baker, golf addict
 
‘I received a copy of Volume Three and I just wanted to let you know that you’ve outdone yourself on this one—just an awesome collection of essays and images.’
Patrick H. Kiser, project manager
 
‘Making a living out of compiling and writing books is difficult; we are lucky we have someone like Paul who is so dedicated to the task.’
Golfing publication
 
‘His books deserve pride of place at every golf club.’
Kevin O’Neill, journalist
 
‘Well done Paul – Volume Three is a work of art!’
Golf Hacker magazine
 
‘Paul, your true skill lies in excellent writing that is extremely enjoyable to read.’
Tyler Kearns, golf-course architect
 
‘Paul Daley is an Australian in love with golf-course architecture. Having written previous books on the subject, this time he reaches a new pinnacle of success.’
Bob Weisberger, journalist
 
‘Congratulations on Volume Three and your earlier publications. I continue to learn something every day from your work.’
Denis Parsons, golf-course superintendent
 
‘Paul’s books are beautiful and an absolute credit to him. His passion and golfing expertise shines through in every page.’
