Synopsis:

Provides a memorable chronicle of the 1884 design and construction of Oakhurst, America's first golf course, a nine-hole private course built by Scottish gentlemen George Grant and Alexander and Roderick MacLeod on the land of their neighbor, Russell Montague, in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

About the Author:

Paula DiPerna took her first golf swing at the age of four, and has played golf on every continent except Antarctica. She has written about golf for every major golf magazine and for the New York Times travel section, where her article on Oakhurst appeared. One of the few women members of the Golf Writers Association, she lives in New York City.

Vikki Keller, daughter of Lewis Keller, helps manage Oakhurst today.
