Description:

Includes a new Foreword by golf pro Brad Faxon and a new Preface by editor Jeff Silverman!

Bernard Darwin could have easily embraced a privileged life as a respected lawyer, given his conventional upbringing and prestigious lineage as the grandson of Charles Darwin. However, he veered off this path to pursue his true passion: golf. Despite his notable skills on the links—having captained his golf team at Cambridge and reached the semifinals of the British Amateur Championships twice—Darwin found greater acclaim with his pen than with his club.

Initially, Darwin served as a weekly columnist for The Times of London, always signing his columns "Our Golf Correspondent." He swiftly rose to prominence as one of Britain's finest essayists, transcending the mere reporting of events to offer profound insights into the sport. His contributions extended beyond The Times, as he became a regular fixture in publications such as Country Life and a frequent contributor to The Atlantic Monthly.

About the Author:

Bernard Darwin was golf correspondent for The Times of London for almost half a century, and the game's most revered writer. The grandson of Charles Darwin, he was a prominent authority on Charles Dickens and was the editor of The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

Jeff Silverman, a former columnist for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, has written for The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, Sports Illustrated, and Golf World. His several club histories include Merion: The Championship Story, which received the USGA’s Herbert Warren Wind Award in 2013. He is also the editor of The Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told, Lardner on Baseball, The Greatest Golf Stories Ever Told, The Greatest Boxing Stories Ever Told, and Great American Golf Stories. He lives with his family in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania.

Advance Praise:

“If you’re a true golf fanatic and know about “The Cardinal“ and the “Himalayas,“ you’ll enjoy this insightful romp through the golden age of golf as witnessed by Bernard Darwin, legendary golf writer and a true golf fanatic. If you’re new to the game, you’ll gain insight into its traditions, intricacies, and subtleties as it grew and spread worldwide from its origins in Great Britain.”

—Alabama Golf News

"The best golf book ever."

—Travel & Leisure Golf Magazine

"One can open a book of Bernard Darwin's to any page, find any line, and be entertained by it."

 —Ben Crenshaw, two-time Masters champion and noted golf course architect
