And Then There Was GOLF! - Paperback

by Jason E. Holmes (Author)

The history of golf and it's beginning.

How did Golf begin? Every golfer asks. PGA Pro Bill Greenleaf and Dr. Jason E. Holmes reconnected at a reunion. They dove into a coaching theory discussion. Bill shared an imaginary bedtime story outlining how a young shepherd invented golf. Many historians researched and recorded golf artifacts. However, 1457, fifty years before Scotland's first printing press, marks history's earliest golf mention. Twelve friends agree there is a need. They commit to create a fair, challenging, sociable, honest and fun athletic event. At the intersection of imagination and unfair competition, young minds collaborate to design and create games. Two history professors first authenticate, then translate a long lost manuscript.

And Then There Was Golf: The Lost Legend, details the story of young friends who cooperate, collaborate and problem solve to produce the game played around the world by more than 70 million golfers.
