Golf

by Dale Concannon

Golf has been played in one form or another for over 500 years. Yet it was only during the reign of Queen Victoria that it evolved from an exclusively Scottish pastime to a pre-eminent sport played all over the world. From St. Andrews to San Francisco, Carnoustie to Calcutta, golf became a game upon which the sun truly never set.
This book seeks to capture something of that exciting period and the decades which immediately followed. Illustrated throughout with a superb collection of photographs - many of which have never been published before - it chronicles many of the legendary players, the great championships and the famous courses which made golf the game it is today.
