This vintage book is a fascinating chronicle of the changes that took
place in the forty years that the author had been playing golf on St.
Andrews Links. One of the oldest courses in the world, St. Andrews links
is widely considered to be the "home of golf". This volume is highly
recommended for those with an interest in the history of this most
venerable of golfing locations and would make for a fantastic addition
to collections of vintage sporting literature. Contents include:
"Links", "Balls and Clubs", "Medals", "Players", "Professionals and
Caddies", "Incidents in Golf", and "Merits of the Game". Many vintage
books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete
with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of golf.
First published in 1887.
