Introduction by Peter Dobereiner. A Pictorial Anthology with over 220 colour illustrations.
Golf: The Goldern Years is a celebration of the end of the 19th century and the first 40 years or so of the 20th, when giants of the game such as Vardon and Sarazen walked the links, and the colossus that was Bobby Jones towered over them all.
Divided into three sections, and introduced by a history of golf in the golden age from the incomparable pen of Bernard Dawin, the book covers the whle spectrum of the golfing world. On every page there is something to entertain, delight and inform.
The first section - Great Moments, Great Courses. Great Characters is the second section. The final section - A Golfing Bag - covers such vital matters as etiquette on the golf course and a defence of caddies, as well as tips on play form names that are now legends.
Golf: The Golden Years is a treasure-house to delight all golfers and an invaluable source of reference to collectors. Not only does it bring to life the players, the courses and the great moments from golf's golden age; it also conveys a sense of the sheer fun, the exhilaration and - sometimes - the low comedy of a day on the links.
