  This is a new, shrunk-down version of the compelling 100 Years of Golf . It is an essential addition to the bookshelves of fans of golf. It includes 300 hand-picked photographs to provide a unique insight into the recent history of the sport. Hand-picked by the Press Association's own archivists, most of these images have lain unseen since they were used as news pictures when they were first taken. Each image has been scanned especially for these books, many from glass plates, ensuring the best possible quality of reproduction. Fans of golf will find this book an essential and compelling addition to their shelves; a chance to see the people and witness the great moments of the last hundred years of the sport in Britain. The general reader will be equally fascinated by the unique insight into our recent history that these pictures provide: to modern eyes, the crowds and backgrounds are as interesting as the subject itself.
