Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Long out of print but now reissued in a facsimile edition, this classic tour of British golf courses and the golfer's psyche by naturalist Charles Darwin's grandson, survives 87 years after its original publication as one of the fittest and most elegant books ever penned on the sport. As a writer on golf, Bernard Darwin was not just the origin of the species, he remains, decades after his death, one of its aces, as well.

You couldn't find in the history of golf a better team than Darwin to write and Rountree to paint. --Ben Crenshaw
