Golf books tend to fall into two categories: Instructionals and Everything Else. If I had a dollar for each time I came across a book of golf instruction I'd be rich enought buy lessons from Tiger Woods! Some are classic, some pedantic, and some just plain bizarre. Apart from golf books (Darwin, Hutchinson, Wind) check out our golf memorabilia, including famous golfers' autographs, Ryder Cup programmes and golf photographs & postcards. Or what about a recipe for ratatouille by Henry Cotton? |
