The Dawn of Professional Golf provides the first detailed
study of the early years of the professional "tour".

Vardon, James Braid and J.H.Taylor. Their heyday coincides with
the unprecedented growth of the game and the transformation of
the professional sport. This book tells the fascinating and absorbing
story of those years.
