"In my profession I have to do an awful lot of travelling, and while I really enjoy most golf books, they tend to be a little bit too bulky to fit easily into my hand luggage. With this in mind, I have brought you a pocket sized golf reference book which, hopefully you will find entertaining. This is not an instruction book; there are plenty of those around, but a stroll through the history of this ancient game with all its highs and lows, a little bit of my life on tour, and everything that makes 'golf' a four-letter word." This is how well-loved golfing icon Laura Davies introduces her latest venture - a handy-sized book full of fascinating golf anecdotes, facts and figures. With a chapter on the history of the sport: its origins, and how it took the form we know today; a guide to Laura's favourite courses around the world; a selection of quotations on golf from everyone from Mary Queen of Scots to Bob Monkhouse and much more, this book will be essential light reading for any fan of the game.
