About This Item
Golf Canada, 2021. NEW and unread in a NEW, near PERFECT dust jacket. The jacket has only a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear (like you sometimes find in any new book store). NO chips, tears, creases or fading. Sharp corners. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked - obviously never read. Photo illustrated, some in beautiful full color. Appendices. Bibliography. Index. Golf writer Lorne Rubenstein supplied the foreword to the book where he wrote, "Fifty years have come and gone, but I remember and can see Cowan setting up on the tee, taking very little time, and drilling his drive down the fairway. The golf ball curved a lot more in those days, but it curved only when Cowan wanted it to. He could hit any shot he wanted to, when he wanted to, and had proven himself one of the finest amateurs in the game. He was a world-class golfer." From the Golf Canada website: "Gary Cowan is one of the most successful and revered amateur golfers of the past century. An honoured member of the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame, he chose to write a memoir with journalist David McPherson about his life in golf in his new book From Rockway to Augusta.". First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket. 8vo. xii, 276pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
