1897 British Golf Links - First Edition
This rare first edition of 'British Golf Links: A Short Account of The Leading Golf Links of the United Kingdom' was published by J.S. Virtue in 1897. It covers 51 of the United Kingdom's most appealing world famous links courses, including The Old Course at St. Andrews, Prestwick, Machrihanish, and many more!
A snapshot of the late Victorian golfing scene, much mention is made of clubs, players, courses and clubhouses. All the main clubs are written about often accompanied by photographs showing matches in progress, clubhouses, and more.
This is a wonderfully illustrated book that reveals the history of Britain's finest links courses accompanied by Hutchinson's text.
Please note the binding of this book is in poor to fair condition, with multiple creases/tears as shown in the side view that shows the spine. Considering this book was printed 130 years ago, wear and tear like this usually indicates it's been very well-loved and well-appreciated throughout its life!
