A Timeless Game: Some Thoughts On Golf Topics Old And New

Written by one of America’s leading golf historians, A Timeless Game is a collection of ten essays touching upon a wide range of golfing subjects, capturing the game’s uniquely varied flavor in a manner rare to modern golf literature. Meticulously researched, its topics range from the life and exploits of the legendary Willie Anderson, and the barrier-breaking golfing life of heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis to the contemporary dominance of Korean women golfers and issues of modern equipment. Along the way, it pays a visit to America’s greatest lost course, and to the long-forgotten tournament histories of a number of big city municipal facilities, while also revisiting the career of Jack Nicklaus by chronicling his 18 Major championship victories, and performing a detailed historical study of more than 1,500 professional events, resulting in a proposed reshuffling of the PGA Tour’s record book. For the avid golfer, few modern volumes will prove as engaging, wide-ranging or thought-provoking.
