The Story of Golf

Written by Fritz Schranck. Posted in

This is the companion volume to the fine U.S. Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) documentary that ran on American television earlier this year.

Peper, the Editor-in-Chief of GOLF Magazine, put together a well-done collection of stories, pictures, and anecdotes to tell the history of golf from its earliest beginnings to the present.

Its outsize dimensions and at least 200 illustrations make this a coffee table book, but with more than enough substance to go beyond the normal meaning of the term.

Peper co-wrote Cinderella Story with Bill Murray, also published this year. This book was much better.
