A classic of golf literature is now fully illustrated for the first time with photographs, drawings, and memorabilia.
Originally released in 1948 and revised in 1956 and 1975, Wind’s work is the most graceful and thorough history ever published of professional and amateur men’s and women’s golf in America. From John Reid, the man who introduced the game to this country with three holes carved out of a cow pasture on his New York estate in 1888, to Francis Ouimet’s memorable victory in the 1913 U.S. Open, to Bobby Jones’ “impregnable quadrilateral” in 1930, to the dawn of the era of Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Ben Hogan, Wind covers it all: the personalities, the competition, even swing analyses. This volume introduces the game’s first star players, including Bobby Jones, Glenna Collett, Gene Sarazen, and Walter Hagen. The second volume, planned for release in 2001, will continue where the first leaves off.
