London: Duckworth, 1987. A Very Good+ unmarked copy which has a small bump to one corner tip with VG+ price clipped dustjacket which has a very small repaired closed tear. Introduced by Barry Took and Peter Alliss. Written by one of the greatest of all writers on golf, Bernard Darwin's classic description of the golf courses of the British Isles, first published in 1910, dropped from sight and lurked unnoticed for 80 years. It now emerges in a new edition as fresh, fascinating and full of golfing wisdom as when it was first penned. It provides not only a hole by hole description of many Great Britain and Ireland's leading courses but an intriguing evocation of the time when the 'gutty' was being replaced by the rubber cored golfball. An amusing and scholarly introduction by Barry Took and Peter Alliss sets the scene. 23 plates. 22. First Thus. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

hardcover. Good. Access codes and supplements are not guaranteed with used items. May be an ex-library book.
