This account of professional golf during the Great Depression
begins with a look at the ""roaring 1920s"" and how golf developed
during this exciting decade. What a contrast to the Depression era
in which golf at all levels suffered but survived. The Depression
years in general are covered and then the author looks in detail at
the professional tour between 1931 and 1940 - from the
administrators (those who sold the tour to sponsors, the media and
the public) to the many wonderful golfers of this era. Much of this
is set against the background of how difficult life was for most
Americans at this time. The book then looks briefly at the
post-Depression years (when the U.S. entered World War II) and how
the top players fared. The author's overall conclusion is that
despite the economic difficulties of the era, professional golf
survived largely due to the efforts of many players and
administrators, not all of whom have been sufficiently recognised
by the game and its historians.
