Item description from seller

No stated date c1957. Presumed first editions. In the 1950s, a series of golf course charts of some of Britain's most famous golf courses were prepared for Martini and Rossi Ltd., and designed and published by L. Claughton Darbyshire. The individual charts were staple-bound and consisted of 8 pages (including the covers) with a very brief description of the course, black and white illustrations, diagrams of the holes, and a map of the course. We do not know how many Charts were published but believe it may have been 50. Supplementary 4 page charts were issued for a few courses. Spiral binders bound in green card covers and containing card pockets with spaces for notes on dates played, scores, partners, opponents, and results were also issued. For sale are two binders containing charts 1 to 48 (apart from Nos. 2 and 35 which are missing), and supplementary sheets for Sheets 4 (Wentworth), 6 (Sunningdale), and 8 (Moor Park). The binders for the charts are in very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling and staining. There is also wear to the titling on the front of the binders and rubbing to the corners. The individual sheets are very good apart from No. 34 (Worplesdon) which is very creased. Some of the pockets have hand-written notes on the sections for dates played, etc.…
