Descrizione:
British Golf Links, written and edited by Horace Hutchinson in 1897, profiles fifty-four of the finest British and French golf clubs of the 19th century. Featuring over 500 photographs and illustrations, as well as detailed summaries and playing characteristics of famed courses like St. George's, Royal Portrush, Lytham and St. Anne's, Prestwick, and Troon, this volume is considered by historians to be a masterpiece of early golf literature.To assemble the detailed accounts of the leading golf courses of his time, Hutchinson enlisted the service of the honorable secretaries, treasurers, and captains of each club. The result is a first-hand intimate account of the most influential clubs of the United Kingdom, many of which are still included in the Open Championship rotation today.Rare photographs and portraits found inside British Golf Links include Tom Morris, Bernard Darwin, Harry Vardon, James Braid, J.H. Taylor, John Ball, Ben Sayers, Alexander Herd, and more.
