Golf: from its Scottish Highland origins to its distinctive
wardrobe, and from St Andrews Old Course to the lush greens of
Augusta, the word conjures a history and a world - and this book is
the perfect window onto that world. Packed with colour
illustrations and photographs, it traces golf's evolution from
preserve of the privileged few to aspirational pursuit of the
masses, taking in the game's Victorian and Edwardian popularity and
the rise of the professional sport in the twentieth century. Expert
John Pearson also provides a detailed look at the evolution of
golfing equipment, from the earliest feather balls and wooden clubs
to the hi-tech equipment of today, and at the famous players and
championships whose names are known the world over.
