From the Author:
Willie Park was the epitome of the Victorian entrepreneur. Besides being the champion golfer of his time, he took the game of golf to the world in a number of ways. He participated in challenge matches and demonstrations in Britain, Western Europe and North America, and designed, made and sold both clubs and balls in the main cities of Britain and North America. By laying out over 160 golf courses, Willie Park Junior made the game popular in Britain, Western Europe and North America. Always on the move, he wore himself out by continually making his presence felt in two continents and died in 1925 at the age of 61.
Review:
The book is handsomely got up, it is written with concise vigour and fullness of knowledge... [it] ought to be in the hands of every golfer and on the table of every golf club. - GOLF MAGAZINE ...solid and reliable... practically every book on golf since his time has copied his basic format. After over a century it can still be read with profit by today's golfer. - PAUL LAWRIE
