Review
"Peter Davies has undertaken a monumental task and carried it off in fine style. His dictionary will make a valuable addition to any serious golfer's library and should be one that never gathers dust."-Arnold Palmer -- Arnold Palmer "A fascinating look into the often arcane and sometimes amusing language of our game. I'm sure golfers and golf fans will find it enlightening and entertaining reading."-Jack Nicklaus -- Jack Nicklaus "As golfers we all respect the traditions of the game which separate it from any other sport. Peter Davies's definitions help us all to understand the evolution and facets of the game that we just take for granted today."-Gary Player -- Gary Player
Synopsis
Frog Hair, mashie, and niblick are a few of the more colourful terms defined in this entertaining and thorough piece of research by noted lexicographer and golf enthusiast Davies. The format is that of a conventional dictionary, with entries arranged alphabetically and line drawings used occasionally to illustrate different golf clubs. The thousands of citations add depth by clarifying a term's proper usage, identifying its origin, and often tracing the evolution of its meaning over time. The citations are drawn from golfing magazines, newspaper accounts, memoirs of golfers and golf writers, rule books, advertisements, and even fiction (notably P G Wodehouse).
