Illustrated with 250 full color photos from the exclusive holdings of the USGA, The Story Of Golf brings to life the full, rich history of the game of golf, from it's earliest forms in medieval Europe to the development of modern, televised play. Author and distinguished golf expert, George Peper describes the evolution of the rules, clothes, and equipment from wood to today's space age materials. He provides a visually stunning tour of the most famous courses in the world from historic St. Andrews in Scotland and Shinnecock Hills in Southampton to the newest golf scenes in the Far East. The Story Of Golf recounts the contributions to the game of the greatest players, from innovators such as Harry Vardon, Bobby Jones, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan and Babe Zaharias to such recent winners as Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Tiger Woods. Published in cooperation with the PGA and companion to the PBS series The Story Of Golf, this beautiful volume is a must for everyone interested in the game.
