Golf has been called the greatest of all games, but it has also
been derided by none other than Mark Twain as nothing more than a
good walk spoiled. Traditional teaching holds that golf originated
in Scotland around the 15th century. However, there is historical
evidence of games similar to golf being played in the low countries
of Europe back in the 13th century. Over the many centuries of
golf's evolution, the balls used have changed greatly, as have the
clubs, the holes, the courses, and the entire game itself. The
Historical Dictionary of Golf presents a comprehensive history of
the game through a chronology, an introductory essay, a
bibliography, photos, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary
entries on places, teams, terminology, and people, including Arnold
Palmer, Greg Norman, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam,
Lorena Ochoa, Phil Mickelson, and, of course, Tiger Woods.
Appendixes of the members of the World Golf Hall of Fame, the Major
Championships of Golf, the International Team Events, and the
Professional Tour Awards are also included."
