We know that understanding the past enables us to better comprehend the present and foresee the future. But rarely are we provided with such a clearcut example of this truth than that illustrated by the case of golf and the Old Course. In this insightful and provocative study, Scott Macpherson takes the reader on a journey of discovery from the past to the future. We see not only how early re-modelling of the Old Course changed the very game itself, but also the ways in which the Old Course has accommodated changes to the ball and clubs and has not only refl ected such changes in its layout but points the direction to signifi cant future issues that are only now arising for golfers, golf clubs and course designers throughout the world.
