Golf Hall of Fame

This is a celebration of the careers and achievements of the world's greatest golfing men, both past and present: the greatest personalities since the British Open in 1860 such as Tom Morris Junior, through the game's changes in amateur and professional status via characters such as the flamboyant Walter Hagen, to the highly paid successful contemporary players, such as the outstanding Jack Nicklaus. The origins of golf and its development from amateur to professional status provides a background to the book, along with a chapter on the major championships.
