This, the first-ever golf coffee-table book, set a standard that many say has never been equaled. As golf exploded onto the sporting scene worldwide, noted amateur golfer and acclaimed writer Horace Hutchinson set out to chronicle the great courses of the home of golf-Great Britain. He profiles more than fifty courses, many of them golf's most legendary venues, utilizing historical accounts and information provided by various club secretaries. Each chapter contains extensive historical information, hole descriptions, yardages, and general hints on playing. This in itself is significant, but it is the amazing collection of early photographs, faithfully reproduced, that makes British Golf Links truly unique.
Original copies are nearly impossible to find and can cost thousands of dollars. This rare book, the cornerstone of every major golf library, is finally within reach in this reprint edition as part of the Sports Media Group's Rare Book Collection. British Golf Links shows readers just how much has changed in golf and, more importantly, how much has not!
