Paperback. Condition: Very Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The Happy Golfer is an anthology that collects some of Bernard Darwin's best essays, many of which were originally published in The American Golfer magazine between 1922 and 1936. Edited by Robert S. Macdonald, the essays were specifically written for an American audience. Rather than just a reportage of events or technical advice, the book is a meditation on the soul of the game. Darwin, an accomplished player himself (grandson of Charles Darwin), writes from the perspective of an avid and thoughtful golfer, capturing the charm of early 20th-century golf, its personalities, and the subtle beauty of the game itself. A hardback in 'very good' condition. No dust jacket but has clear plastic wrapper.
