A Life's Two Nines
Featuring the Evolution of the R&A 1962-1981
A Publication from GentryLinks Books Ltd
How did the R&A evolve from an ancient Golf Club into a modern, leading, governing body?
How did that evolution lead to the independent golf nations around the world looking to the R&A for leadership, partnership and governance?
This book explores the international evolution of the R&A following a strategic review of 1960. Through the life and work of Niel Loudon, it examines how the Club's role developed in relation to Rules of Golf, championships, and its growing relationship with golf associations and federations around the world.
