Bernard Darwin

"Everyone who has played golf or has even merely followed a match on a golf course, has heard of Mr. Bernard Darwin, who is the leading writer on this subject. Since he has visited practically every course in the country and mixed with men of every profession it might be guessed that he is a very "clubable" fellow and nobody could be more fitted to write on the subject of English clubs, a considerable number of which the author knows intimately. Clubs are a specific English institution and have flourished in this country with an individuality and abundance unrivaled in any other part of the world, and Mr. Darwin makes the most of a subject which is both amusing and extraordinarily interesting"--Publisher description.
