I have looked online, and only found tour yardage books at tpk.com,
though I know George Lucas (for example) has made books for hundreds of
courses.
Does anyone know of a site that sells them, or other extremely detailed
books? (ie either from the PGA/LPGA tour, or Nike/Buy.com/Nationwide)
I have seen guidebooks for sale at courses soon after an event, but if
I miss out on those I was curious if there is another source.
Thanks-

They're not available online...unless some yokel is selling theirs on e-Bay.

Your best bet is to visit the caddy shack (or clubhouse) next time the TOUR
visits your town. They're $15. Cash only.

There is a company called Golfwits (www.golfwits.com) that sells pretty
detailed digital course maps, and you can also print out your own
yardage books. Not sure if they're as detailed as the pro books.

I bought a TPC Sawgrass yardage book a few months ago, direct from
their website. I think this is the Lucas books. They were for sale
with a big list of past tournaments and qty remaning. Unfortunately I
need to find that website - I don't have the link with me now.

But keep looking. Unless it shut down, what your'e looking for is
definitely out there.
