Golf has been around for over 600 years, its origins tracing back
to the links in Scotland in the fifteenth century. Since then, the
game has spread worldwide, with millions of fans and players from
all walks of life. Born on the Links: A Concise History of Golf
encompasses the entire history of this popular sport, from the
fifteenth century up to the present. It covers the development of
golf equipment, rules, and playing fields, and shows how the game
changed from a pastime exclusively for the rich to a sport that is
played by millions of people of all classes, ages, and backgrounds.
In addition, this book details the lives and accomplishments of the
many iconic players of the game-including Walter Hagen, Gene
Sarazen, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Ben Hogan, Charlie Sifford,
Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam, and Tiger Woods-and
their greatest moments on the golf course. Additional chapters
focus exclusively on the history of African Americans and women in
the sport, recognizing their distinct struggles for equality and
recognition, as well as their ultimate triumphs. A comprehensive
yet readable resource, Born on the Links also features a timeline
of golf history, lists of the winners and runners-up of every major
professional and amateur golf championship held since 1860, the
winner of every major international team and cup competition held
since 1922, and more. The most up-to-date history of golf, this
book will entertain and inform all fans and historians of the game.
