  The Daily Telegraph Golf Chronicle offers a comprehensive account of the history of the most compulsive sport the world has ever seen, from its ancient origins in the mists of time to the present day. Presented in a newspaper-style page-by-page chronological format, and written from the British-American perspective, it includes articles concerning all the major golfing stories of the 20th century, together with key golfing statistics, and wit and humour of the game in quote form, and the rest of the golfing news in brief. There are also features on the game's great players (Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tony Jacklin, Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo); the great 2 courses (St Andrews, Birkdale, Troon, Lytham St Anne's, Augusta, Pebble Beach, Muirfield Village); and the great competitions (the four Majors, the Ryder Cup, Walker Cup, Curtis Cup, Solheim Cup and World Cup).
