Golfers Ancient & Modern
A novice's first introduction to a golf club will invariably provide one of the sternest challenges that life has to offer. Even before he attempts a shaky drive off the first, he must first navigate through a minefield of the 'dos' and 'don'ts' of clubbable culture formed by the champions of old.
Forewarned he may be of the correct etiquette and behaviour expected, but little can prepare him for an encounter with the inner sanctum of the club member, committee and Captain on a Saturday morning before play.
Golfers, Ancient & Modern is an illustrated guide that examines the history, institutions and philosophies of the 'golf club' focusing on the amateur game and its Scottish roots.
The book is due for publication late 2007.
