Overview

Includes a new Foreword by golf pro Brad Faxon and a new Preface by editor Jeff Silverman

Bernard Darwin could have easily embraced a privileged life as a respected lawyer, given his conventional upbringing and prestigious lineage as the grandson of Charles Darwin. However, he veered off this path to pursue his true passion: golf. Despite his notable skills on the links--having captained his golf team at Cambridge and reached the semifinals of the British Amateur Championships twice--Darwin found greater acclaim with his pen than with his club.

Initially, Darwin served as a weekly columnist for The Times of London, always signing his columns "Our Golf Correspondent." He swiftly rose to prominence as one of Britain's finest essayists, transcending the mere reporting of events to offer profound insights into the sport. His contributions extended beyond The Times, as he became a regular fixture in publications such as Country Life and a frequent contributor to The Atlantic Monthly.
