Golf The Early Days : Royal & Ancient Game from Its Origins to 1939

This volume is a charming tribute to the great game of golf in its early days. A must-have for all lovers of the game, this authoritative volume focuses on the origins of golf, through the mid-1930s, and the evolution or the equipment from the early hickory shafts and the feather balls. There are also the stories of the great champions of the past -- J.H. Taylor, Harry Vardon, James Braid, Harold Hilton, Jack White, Walter Hagen -- and great female players like Lady Margaret Scott, May Hezlet, Rhona Adair and Dorothy Campbell. Lavishly illustrated with golfing memorabilia and archive photos, the presentation is phenomenal.
