About this ebook
Golf, A Very Peculiar History' takes a sideways look at one of Britain's greatest exports, tracing its history from the earliest ball-in-hole games right up to the scandals that rock its current celebrities and tournaments, with a fair few mulligans in between. From its origins as a strictly men-only, exclusive sport, golf has matured a great deal through the ages and has distanced itself from the elitist pursuit it once was, today allowing players from all creeds and sexes. This ebook takes a look at how these prejudices have (sometimes) been overcome, while indulging you with some of the bizarrest stories known to the world of golf. Just remember, it's not always the caddie's fault...
