There's a reason Herbert Warren Wind earned the appellation "the dean of American golf writers." The only writer ever honored by the USGA for distinguished contributions to the game, Wind related to golf both intimately and encyclopedically, analyzing and reporting on the players, personalities, events, highlights, lowlights, and advances in technique with a fluid mix of style and grace, insight and understanding.
In the late 1940s, he compiled this monumental history of the game, from the 1880s to World War II. Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Byron Nelson, Ben Hogan, and Sam Snead are just a few of the big hitters whose stories and accomplishments Wind puts into perspective with fine detail and sophisticated analysis.
