The real object of research is revealed by the pictures, and these are what F. and L. want us to learn from. Along with Anglos Martial Arts of Renaissance Europe and Gillmeisters Tennis, a Cultural History, Golf through the Ages is the most genuinely scholarly book I have been privileged to read on the history of sport between ancient times and the nineteenth century
Professor John McClelland, doyen of sport historians, at the University of Toronto's Centre for Reformation & Renaissance Studies.

Description / Expertise
Golf Through The Ages, 600 Years of Golfing Art, published 2004 by Golf Links Press Ltd.
464 pages with 365 largely unknown illustrations of European ballgames, the earliest dating from ca. 1120 AD. The book with slipcase, weighs approximately 11 lbs (5KG).
The authors analyse and depict a range of European ball games, beginning with the violent football/rugby-like French soule through crosse, polo, pall-mall and 13 other families of early ball games, explaining their effect on the form, manner of play, stroke technique, equipment and rules of early golf.
Considered by historians, experts and the international press as a landmark publication and most important and beautiful work in the history of golf and European club and ball games. I would be pleased to send a compilation of international reviews upon request. See below for an excerpt of the 21pp review essay by Prof. John McClelland.
