By the editor of "The Golfer". 99 pages. Red cloth with illustration of a golfer playing on Musselburgh Links with the historic Mrs. Foreman's tavern in the background.

The sections vary widely in length but are conveniently grouped as well as indexed. In addition to the rules being printed in full, there are chapters on Curious Incidents, General Rules information, pages on Etiquette, Handicapping, Championship Courses, Championship Winners, etc. Slight spine fade else a beautiful clean copy without ownership name, marginalia, underlining, soiling, creases, tears, etc. Very scarce especially in this condition.
