In this classic work of sports literature, Vardon offers his stupendous and invaluable insight into the game. Part biographical, part instructional, part inspirational, Vardon’s advice covers: • the makings of a player • the mistakes o

All the history, tradition, agony, and ecstasy of golf shine through in these words by players, professional and amateur. Organized into categories such as “Golf Defined,” “The Mental Game,” and “Caddies,” the quotes come from such links lovers as Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, and more. Some are modest (“I don’t know if you’re ever finished trying to improve”—Woods), others supremely confident (“I don’t know why you’re practicing so hard to finish second”—Babe Zaharias to her competitors), and they’re all fun.

Darren Kilfara’s scheme to study abroad at St. Andrews University in Scotland-allegedly, to write a thesis on the history of golf-was foolproof. He would enroll at the school, go to a couple of classes, earn a year’s worth of university credit, and become eligible for a year-long student pass to the famed golf courses of St. Andrews, the birthplace of the game, for the low, low price of $150. A perfect plan, so of course it went awry. A GOLFER’S EDUCATION is the true story of a young man, once a member of Harvard’s golf team and a former writer for Golf Digest, who b

The African American Woman Golfer: Her Legacy gives a brief historical overview of African American women in golf and examines the sport to uncover all African American women who have been involved in golf over the past 75 years. M. Mikell Johnson shows how these women-who were seemingly far removed from the white, male, privileged world of the country club-broke both color and gender barriers to become golfers. This book traces the history of how African American women got involved in golf. Title VI and Title IX alleviated some of the racial and financial burdens for some young women in high
