Alastair Johnston is one of the premier collectors of golf books and has amassed one of the largest collections. This is a scholarly, well research work written from the perspective of a Scotsman. It documents the history of evolution of the game by doing detailed and meticulous research around when golf was mentioned in early literature and follows the history of early golf in Scotland. The attention to detail is something that is uncommon and is reflected in the fact that the book is 734 pages. Johnston puts to rest the fact that golf is indeed a game of Scottish origin despite early claims of it having evolved from the Dutch. Donovan & Jerris J7660. We specialize in golf books.
