Synopsis

Originally published in 1907, Henry Leach's Great Golfers in the Making combines an anthology of 34 autobiographical chapters by the best golfers - both amateurs and professionals - of the day and what led them to the game, what were the primary obstacles in their development, how they prevailed, and - in Leach's curious phrase - what each regarded as "the most important morals of his experience." The contributors were also encouraged to throw in a touch of basic instruction on a phase of the game at which they excelled. For instance the chapter by the American putting wizard Walter Travis contains some pearls of wisdom that could easily become the basis for a full-blown exposition in a golf magazine today. This reprint edition is enriched by an introduction by Arnold Palmer. Contributors include John L. Low, Harold H. Hilton, Horace G. Hutchinson, J.E. Laidlay, Walter J. Travis, James Robb, Edward Blackwell, Harry Vardon, James Braid, J.H. Taylor, Alexander Herd, Willie Park, Tom Morris, Jack White, etc. With twenty-four illustrations in a limited edition of 1500 copies from the Rare Book Library of the USGA.
