Golf In Scotland In The Black & White Era

Golf In Scotland In The Black & White Era Synopsis

This is a large-format, photo-led book showing golf in Scotland in the 20th Century as readers will remember it. The words accompanying the images explain the state of the game in Scotland at the time, from the tough days of the 1950s, to the re-emergence of The Open, and golf in Scotland, as a leading light in the world game. The book includes never-published photos of the most famous course of them all, The Old Course at St Andrews, the most difficult course on the Open rota at Carnoustie, and a chapter dedicated to the greatest golf head-to-head ever played, the "Duel In The Sun" at Turnberry in 1977 - among many others. The changing face of the game is explored and explained. There is also a chapter dedicated to women in golf in the black & white era.
