A series of books using the medium of iconic Scottish golf art to examine, trace, research and interpret the origins, coming of age and the maturity of the modern game of golf (1830-1930). The use of art and image in these works is not incidental. It is a means of interpretation. The paintings and visual records are used to consider the individuals present at the key transition points in the game’s development—those at the emergence of the modern game, its coming of age, and its later maturity. Through them, the figures who shaped these moments can be observed not simply as names or roles, but in context: how they stood within the game, how they related to one another, and how the character of the game itself is reflected in them.
