Book description
Golf, A Very Peculiar History' takes a sideways look at one of
Britain's greatest exports, tracing its history from the earliest
ball-in-hole games right up to the scandals that rock its current
celebrities and tournaments, with a fair few mulligans in between. From
its origins as a strictly men-only, exclusive sport, golf has matured a
great deal through the ages and has distanced itself from the elitist
pursuit it once was, today allowing players from all creeds and sexes.
This ebook takes a look at how these prejudices have (sometimes) been
overcome, while indulging you with some of the bizarrest stories known
to the world of golf. Just remember, it's not always the caddie's
fault... Golf, A Very Peculiar History' takes a sideways look at one
