Synopsis

Tee off your season with 101 delightful trivia on the greatest game.

Did you know a Canadian coined the term "mulligan" - a noun meaning "do-over" - which many recreational golfers take on the first tee after an errant drive? Or that the creators of one of the greatest board games ever, Trivial Pursuit, also built a devilish golf course north of Toronto? How about this fact: the world's most expensive public golf course will set you back $1,000 to play just one round. Here's one more: Scotland, where golf was invented in the Middle Ages, later banned the sport - not just once, but three times.

In 101 Fascinating Golf Facts, author, historian, and award-winning golf journalist David McPherson shares these stories and 97 more fascinating and fun tales that illustrate the sport's rich history, entertaining both golf lovers and trivia buffs alike.
