How It Started

THREE LOGOMANIACS, ONE STUBBORN IDEA.

It all began with a framed display of the Peachtree Golf Club logo's evolution. Clay Jackson, Lou DiLorenzo, and Gee Aldridge, three golfers with a logo obsession, decided there should be a book on the subject. A few years and nearly 400 candidate logos later, they found their author in George Peper and a publisher in Back Nine Press. What followed was the resulting list of 100 marks. Ranked, argued over, and finally settled on. Plus Emergency Nines, categorized as honorable mentions.

The best logos aren’t about showing off; instead, they should be about connection;about memory; about history; about the love for the game. That’s what I love about the stories collected in this book. These aren’t just design critiques or rankings of which logo looks best on a headcover. They’re origin stories—about people and places using a little bit of art to say,“This is who we are.
Brad Faxon, Foreword Author, The Best Logos in Golf
But the truth is, most of America’s first clubs gave their logos little thought. Many were content with simple monograms, sometimes embellished with crossed clubs or a ball… Bottom line: logos have become the most talked about—and least explored—element of modern golf. Thus, this book.
