At the time this book was written, man-made inland golf courses were looked upon skeptically by purists who believed golf should only be played on natural courses, situated next to the ocean and without trees. Ray, a British and American Open champion, appealed to the reader to accept the new, inland courses as valid tests of a golfer's abilities - Murdoch 624; Donovan & Murdoch 31260.

Spine slightly leaning, glue repairs to joints and bumped ends, faint stains to covers, mild rubbing; faint foxing, plate facing p. 84 a bit worn and tipped back in, scattered pencil and blue crayon underlines and marks; about very good.
