DARWIN, Bernard.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The Golf Courses of the British Isles. First edition. The author, the grandson of the famous naturalist, is still regarded as one of golf's greatest journalists, and his works have "achieved a classic status" (Jack, p. 151).Darwin (1876-1961) was the golf correspondent for The Times for almost five decades. The present work, one of his many triumphs, is an essential part of any golfing library. In the second edition (1925), the chapter concerning the golf courses of Ireland was omitted.First editions are encountered in slightly variant weaves of cloth and with the decorative elements on the front cover in gilt and green or, as here, in green alone.
