About This Item
New York: Harcourt, 1974. Very Good in a Very Good Dust Jacket. Very Good/Very Good.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. Previous owner's name on the frint free endpage. 8.5 inches tall; 310 pages with an index, photo illustrations. . Here is a rollicking, anecdotal history of golf's PGA tour from one of golf's best writers.
The PGA Tour's beginnings can be traced 1895, when Willie Dunn battled Willie Park, Jr. for an unprecedented $200 purse. By the mid-70s, when this book leaves off, the Tour was Big-Money Golf -- huge purses, endorsement contracts, and all the celebrity of modern-day sport. How it got there is the subject of this richly informative and entertaining book.
