A Pictorial History of American Golf
Author: Willow Creek Press

ISBN: 9781572231450
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Shortly after golf first came to America in 1888, John Reid and several friends laid out an informal three-hole course in a pasture across the street from his Yonkers home. Although ridiculed publicly and privately for their keen interest in an apparently silly game, these early golfers persisted, the game flourished, and courses multiplied. A scant seven years later, the New York Times reported: "In the history of American field sports there can be found no outdoor pastime that developed and attained such popularity in such a relatively short period of time as the game of golf." Here is the diverse history of how golf took new roots in America as viewed through a fascinating collection of rare photographs, with narrative drawn from the pages of period publications. Follow the game from humble beginnings to refinements in both courses and equipment.

Golf Freek
Author: Steve Eubanks
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307495728
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Steve Eubanks lives on a golf course, spends most of his time with a golf club in his hand, and simply cannot pass a course without playing it. In Golf Freek, he chronicles his travels around the globe for the sole purpose of playing as much free golf—the operative word being free—in as many interesting places and with as many interesting people as possible. As Steve himself says, “This book is not some mystic search to find my soul through a ball-and-stick metaphor. It’s about me, the golf freek, sponging free golf. It’s a mixture of On the Road (without the booze, hookers, guns, and poverty) and Rick Reilly’s Who’s Your Caddy? (with John Daly keeping his private parts to himself).” Along the way he tells some of the world’s greatest golf stories—funny, touching, bizarre, and sometimes personal—from his rounds with Arnold Palmer to his hole in one in the Chinese town where his daughter was born. These tales, taken together, add up to one of the most revealing books about
