Drawing on original sources, the book contains information about the evolution of golf courses, equipment, terms and rules; participants in the game, including caddies, amateur players, professionals and course architects; the history of women's golf; and the growth of the sport around the world. Spanning 600 years, the chronological table which concludes the book provides a summary of the history. Don't forget to check out other great deals in our Store!!
