Synopsis

There are two sports which undoubtedly have 'a literature'. One is cricket; the other is undoubtedly golf. But just as no-one, until Aurum, had thought to do a compilation of the best cricket writing from the Telegraph, so no-one has hitherto anthologised all its best golf writing - even though the Telegraph (always the paper of choice for male sports fans) has by common consent been 'the golfer's paper'. Now Aurum fills that gap, with a volume to follow last year's successful and elegant Telegraph Book of Cricket - and once again to be ably edited and introduced by Nick Hoult of the Telegraph's sports desk. Over the years a surprising number of the greatest golfers and golf writers have written for the paper - a selective list (all to be featured in the book) is: Peter Alliss Jack Nicklaus; Arnold Palmer, Gary Player Michael Parkinson Mark Nicholas Ken Brown Colin Montgomerie W.F Deedes Leonard Crawley (the EW Swanton of golf) Paul Hayward The book covers everything from Jacklin's Open triumph to epic Ryder Cups, the earlier amateur days of Michael Bonallack, and the pre-war days of Hogan and Hagen. It's a perfect bedside book for every golfer.

Review

`...a delightful opportunity to relive some of the game's great championships and characters with the help of great writers form the paper's past and present including the legendary Michael Williams, Leonard Crawley, Paul Hayward, Michael Parkinson and Martin Johnson.'
-- PGA, October 2008

`This was an absolute delight, one to savour as little or as much as you fancy preferably with a good glass of wine...for anyone new to the sport it is an essential history, for those who have been addicted for a long time, it's a great reminder'
-- Golf Monthly, March, 2009
