    “Author Philip Young has made an immense contribution to my profession and art form, namely golf course architecture…Having studied this book, I am deeply impressed.”
    “At last we have an authoritative biography of the great golf architect Albert Warren Tillinghast. Well researched and very readable, it brings the master fully to life. Those of us who previously had only a rudimentary knowledge of Tilly, based on the classic courses he created, will marvel at the real man–his ambitions, his ideals and his struggles.” — Bob Grant, noted English golf historian, collector and publisher
    “I thought it quite good… Your recitation of his life events and attitudes seemed to be as close to accurate as one can get from the distance of many decades…” — Philip W. Brown Jr., grandson of A.W. Tillinghast tillinghast
    Tilly was a rudderless youth until his father took him to St. Andrews in 1896 and introduced him to “Old Tom Morris”. His passion and knowledge of the game flourished quickly. He became quite the amateur player. Later in life when Tilly’s interest in golf expanded to designing and architecture, he insisted on making his courses enjoyable for the average golfer even as they tested the world’s best to the utmost. Barnstorming on behalf of the PGA in 1936 and 1937, Tillinghast visited more than 400 clubs. His whirlwind tour helped the clubs and the PGA survive the Great Depression. Today, A.W. Tillinghast remains one of the most prolific architects in the history of golf (wikipedia).

    By Bobby Jones This is Bobby Jones' second and final autobiography. From 1923 to 1930, Jones won 13 national championships, and from 1922-1930 he was first or second in the U.S. Open, save one year. The impossible was accomplished by Bobby Jones in the magical year of 1930 when he won the British Amateur and Open Championships and the U. S. Amateur and Open Championships. Shortly thereafter, Bobby Jones announced he would play no more tournament golf, enigmatically stepping from the loftiest of competitive heights into the annals of golf history. Foreword by Bernard Darwin.

    $40.00Add to cart

    By Walter Hagen with Magaret Seaton Heck One of the game's most dashing and feared players, he is summed up in his most-remembered saying: " I never wanted to be a millionaire - I just wanted to live like one". This is Walter Hagen's own story of the two decades when he ruled the golfing world as king. Hagen not only won a major tournament every year for twenty years-a record never even approached by any other golfer-but his personality dominated the game during that period. A fascinating read that also shows how he opened up the golf world to professionals--who previously weren't even allowed in the clubhouse. Foreword by Herbert Warren Wind.
