The Story of Golf at The Country Club
$2,500.00
Very near fine hardcover in fine slipcase. Green leather with gold lettering and decoration to front cover and spine. Clean and unmarked throughout. Appears unread. Book would be fine but for a touch of wear to bottom corners of covers. Limited edition printed only for members of the Country Club in Brookline, MA. Many illustrations. A beautiful copy.
“The Story of Golf at The Country Club is a microcosm of American golf history. The book celebrates the club’s pioneering role as a co-founder of the United States Golf Association, its staging of sixteen major competitions, including three U.S. Opens, and a Ryder Cup, and the way golf shaped the evolution of the club over more than a century. Here, for the first time, those themes are interwoven in a spirited narrative and illustrated by a rich array of more than 200 photographs, many of them not seen for decades. This slipcase edition is 8.5″ x 10.5″, 320 pages long, gold-embossed, and gold-leafed. Its design is inspired by a special, five-copy edition of TCC’s 50th anniversary history (1932), a lovingly crafted and rarely seen tribute to the club’s origins and development.”
