Today, the winds of spring bring you tales of the stylish pursuits of sporting humans. They bring you hope. They bring you... a new coffee-table book series filled with interesting people doing interesting things in the fields of tennis, golf, soccer and yachting. That got too involved.

GOLF

This Could Get Leisurely

The tome: A pictorial odyssey through some of the most prestigious clubhouses and golf courses in the world, both past and present. Knickers. Respectable amount of those, too.
Highlights: JFK on a golf cart with about 972 children; a diamond-encrusted golf ball; JFK doing other things.

TENNIS

You Don’t Play Tennis, You <em>Feel</em> Tennis

The tome: You just finished your first mimosa. You step onto a clay court, say something cordial and adjust your headband. Then you play tennis if there’s time. That’s this book.
Highlights: Woody Allen hanging out with a tennis racket; Chris Evert being a good loser; a very headband-forward Björn Borg.

FOOTBALL

Of Course Soccer Is in Here

The tome: It’s about the soccer kind of football. But if you’re not a fan, you’re in a safe place here. It’s mostly pictures of fetching people doing things that are neat.
Highlights: A Hamburg fan crying while wearing a stupid hat with soccer balls on it; a little Mick Jagger; a lot of WAGs.

YACHTING

Big Boats. Fancy People. Win-Win.

The tome: Well, this is a book that glorifies the sh*t out of yachts and all the excess that goes along with them. We didn’t think you’d mind.
Highlights: Charles and Diana on the royal yacht; Grace Kelly holding a poodle on her way to Monaco; less Leo than you were expecting.
