图书简介
First published in 1975 Golf in Britain traces the growth of the game from its small beginnings in fifteenth century Scotland to 1970s when it emerged as a widely enjoyed and massively financed sport. Golf has been peculiarly a subject related to economic and social change in society. Initially a folk game played in a small part of Scotland, then for many years a pastime dominated by the wealthy, leisured classes, including Royalty, golf developed at the turn of the nineteenth century into a sport enjoyed by all sections of the community. One aspect of this change is reflected in the role of women on the links. Another change concerns the fashions in correct wear and equipment, both part of a larger golfing etiquette, so important to the game. Attitudes too, towards the professional golfer have changed dramatically over the years and an increasingly important role is given to young players. Geoffrey Cousins has combined his specialist knowledge and considerable enthusiasm to make a very readable book which will appeal to everyone interested in the role of golf in our history.
