More about the book
Since the Dark Ages, when Scots first played a form of golf, no sport has captivated its players and fans like this one. This book captures the essence of golf with a lively and authoritative history, stunning illustrations, and an exceptional collection of original writings. John Garrity, a senior writer for Sports Illustrated, offers a fresh take on golf's centuries-old narrative, exploring key personalities, pivotal events, advancements in technique and technology, and the global fascination with the game. The history is enriched by twenty personal essays from various literary low-handicappers, reflecting on topics such as the Age of Tiger, the challenges faced by club pros, the joy of winter golf, and the decision to step away from the sport. Accompanying the text are over 300 photographs and illustrations, including many rare and specially commissioned images, making this volume truly unique. Covering everything from the tee to the green and the clubhouse to the nuthouse, this book is an essential addition for anyone serious about understanding the game of golf.
