Book Description

Rare Book Collections October 2004
Bernard Darwin is one of the most revered golf writers of all time. This early collection of his best essays from the London Times paints a unique historical picture of golf as it was exploding onto the sporting scene around the world. Golf From the Times is Darwin's rarest book and one of the most sought-after golf titles in today's growing rare book market. This authentic reprint allows you to possess a true golf treasure.

In a highly entertaining look at golf just before the Golden Age, Darwin profiles the leading players; reviews the intricacies of golf instruction; examines great matches; thoughtfully analyzes the finer points of course design and architecture; reviews some of the game's legendary layouts, such as Hoylake, Westward Ho!, Royal St. Georges, and St. Andrews; and addresses many issues critical to the game after the turn of the century.
