Golfing
Horace Hutchinson almost single handedly popularized golf in England. As a tremendous golfer and golf writer, he penned the first golf instruction book, and became the first Englishman to win the British Amateur (repeated in 1887).His book "Golfing" takes the reader through the game of golf, (fairly new at the time). Despite the many changes in conditions and equipment, his observations and wisdom withstand the test of time. The back of the book contains an ancient glossary of golf terms, and the rules, established by the "Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews", as they stood at the turn of the 19th century. Also included is an ancillary list of rules specific to St. Andrews, which is a gem in itself.Horace Hutchinson is a great writer and makes reading a breeze. Any lover of golf classics should have this great old book.

Part of the "The 'Oval' Series of Games", "Golfing" is an illustrated guide to golfing, looking at its history, notable players, different styles, rules, and much more.

On Hallowed Ground and the Golfing Pioneer of St. Andrews
The Immortal of Golf was born in humble circumstances in a weavers cottage. His father, John Morris (1777-1846), was a weaver and letter carrier as the family resided on North Street in the ancient city of St. Andrews. Tom, at the age of fifteen, was apprenticed to the renowned Allan Robertson, champion golfer, unbeaten in his lifetime, and continued his employment as a journeyman. Since being bred in the home of golf and also instructed in the ancient game it is not surprising that Morris began to acquire skillfulness in the sport and began earning distinction on the links. In one of the first public appearances of the young professional he was a partner with Robertson, and played in a match for 400 pounds against William and James Dunn, known as the Dunn Brothers of Musselburgh and Morris and Robertson succeeded on the last day of the match, after being four down with eighteen to play, in winning the match. A match for the ages.
