“If you only ever read
one book in your lifetime about
the legendary Old Tom Morris—THIS is the one to read!”
Written during Old Toms’ lifetime by a longtime friend of his—William
Tulloch—it is the only biography of Tom Morris that was seen by him
prior to his death.
It is not only the definititive work on his life, it beautifly captures
both St. Andrews and what golf was like in its earliest and purist
form.
Follow the life of Old Tom Morris—his beginnings as an apprentice golf
clubmaker, his titanic matches with Willie Park and Davie Strath, and
his four British Open championship wins. Witness the
development of his son, Tom Morris, Jr. as he develops into a
world-class player, winning four Open Championships in a row, then
tragically dies at the age of 24. And meet the various
colorful characters who made up golf before it became a multinational
industry.
This is a must read for
any golfer even remotely
interested in the history of the game.
