Bernard Darwin on Golf by Bernard Darwin
Although Bernard Darwin twice reached the semi-finals of the British Amateur Championships, he achieved far greater notoriety with his pen than with his club. This volume gathers a collection of Darwin's essays, and is a celebration of a life devoted to a love of the game of golf.
Starting as a weekly columnist for The Times of London, he was soon acknowledged as one of the finest essayists in Britain, and was the first writer ever to elevate the discussion of golf beyond a simple reportage of events. He was a regular contributor to The Times (always signing his columns "Our Golf Correspondent") and Country Life for almost fifty years. This collection gathers the finest of Darwin's writing, and is a celebration of a life devoted to a love of the game of golf. Bernard Darwin was golf correspondent for The Times of London for almost half a century, and the game's most revered writer. The grandson of Charles Darwin, he was a prominent authority on Charles Dickens and was the editor of The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. Jeff Silverman, a former columnist for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, has written for The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and several national magazines. He lives with his family in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Golf
