Golf in America: A Practical Manual is a book written by James P. Lee. This title examines the growing popularity of golf at a time when the sport was still new to the United States.Golf in America is a historical text that also examines the technical aspects of the sport. Lee's book opens with an examination of the game's origins, which the author argues have been disputed but ultimately points to its popularity in Scotland as the tipping point for the spread of the game throughout Europe and North America. Lee discusses how the sport came to be introduced in America, and details some of the nation's early golf courses. From there, Lee's discussion shifts to the more practical aspects, including sections on the rules of the game, appropriate etiquette, basic strategies, technical instruction, and a detailed glossary of technical terms. The book concludes with a detailed index of notable North American golf courses.This book will appeal to a certain segment of the golf loving population. The historical information will be of interest to anybody who enjoys the sport and is curious about sport history, whilst the technical information provided is great for practical development.Golf in America: A Practical Manual is ultimately a well written work that is worthy of your attention, particularly if you are new to the sport. Lee has combined a detailed history of the sport with some technical instruction that create an interesting read for any enthusiast in the sport.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Concerning Golf

Literature & Fiction

John L Low

Literary

Originally published in 1907, Henry Leach's Great Golfers in the Making combines an anthology of 34 autobiographical chapters by the best golfers - both amateurs and professionals - of the day and what led them to the game, what were the primary obstacles in their development, how they prevailed, and - in Leach's curious phrase - what each regarded as "the most important morals of his experience." The contributors were also encouraged to throw in a touch of basic instruction on a phase of the game at which they excelled. For instance the chapter by the American putting wizard Walter Travis contains some pearls of wisdom that could easily become the basis for a full-blown exposition in a golf magazine today. This reprint edition is enriched by an introduction by Arnold Palmer. Contributors include John L. Low, Harold H. Hilton, Horace G. Hutchinson, J.E. Laidlay, Walter J. Travis, James Robb, Edward Blackwell, Harry Vardon, James Braid, J.H. Taylor, Alexander Herd, Willie Park, Tom Morris, Jack White, etc. With twenty-four illustrations in a limited edition of 1500 copies from the Rare Book Library of the USGA.

Golf

This is an out-of-print and rare book, boxed and numbered. A Facsimile of the 1863 Edition with an introduction by Frank (Sandy) Tatum, Jr., United States Golf Association, 1991. Two of the earliest books describing the game are combined into one. Historical Gossip has preserved a delightful compendium on golf as George Robb experienced over 150 years ago. He takes the reader through remarkable variety of facets about the game-- early history, development of golf clubs, comparisons with cricket, historic encounters, engaging personalities and amusing anecdotes-- he provides insights to why the game has such enduring appeal. Golf and Golfers Past and Present has Reverend McPherson reminiscing about golf on the Old Course at St. Andrews in the early days of the gutta percha with a deeply felt lament that the links were no longer what they had been, with "fashionable-committees" having minimized the "niceities of the game and force taking the place of skill." ... old George Glennie looking sadly at the filling up of 'Tam's Coo" bunker as a knight of old would regard the dead body of an honored and valued rival." The depths of these feelings are somewhat tempered by his recollections of the grace and skill of Allan Robertson whom the Reverend decisively thought was the best golfer who ever lived, a clear cut above the likes of Old and even Young Tom Morris. Surely to engage the interest of any golfer as to how much of the essence of the game played in the early 19th century has survived in the game we play today.
