Don't miss this opportunity to own a piece of golf history not available anywhere else! Finegan?s extraordinary book commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Golf Associations of Philadelphia, detailing the story of the game's debut here in the 1890's through its development and growth in our region. Relive the history of golf through the book's vivid descriptions of the Golf Association's 95 member clubs as they fought to stay afloat during the Depression and WW II. Learn about larger than life figures such as Bob Jones, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Patty Berg, and Babe Zaharias as they are portrayed triumphantly on Philadelphia area courses.
