Wind captures legendary players, including C. B. Macdonald, Bobby Jones, Byron Nelson, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Ben Hogan, and Jack Nicklaus, in all their glory, and expertly analyzes the developments in style, equipment, and technique that created the modern game." ; "Originally released in 1948 and revised in 1956 and 1975, Wind's work is the most graceful and thorough history ever published of professional and amateur men's and women's golf in America. From John Reid, the man who introduced the game to this country with three holes carved out of a cow pasture on his New York estate in 1888, to Francis Ouimet's memorable victory in the 1913 U.S. Open, to Bobby Jones' "impregnable quadrilateral" in 1930, to the dawn of the era of Sam Snead, Byron Nelson, and Ben Hogan, Wind covers it all: the personalities, the competition, even swing analyses. This volume introduces the game's first star players, including Bobby Jones, Glenna Collett, Gene Sarazen, and Walter Hagen." ; "Encyclopedic in scope and intimate in detail, The Story of American Golf is both a fitting tribute to the beautiful and fickle game that inspired a national obsession and a testament to Herbert Warren Wind's incomparable talents as a journalist and historian. ; Contents: Sowing the seeds, 1883-1913 -- The apple tree gang -- Before and after St. Andrew's -- C.

"Giovanni della Casa was born near Florence in 1503. He studied in Florence, Bologna and Rome. In Padua he befriended Bembo in 1527 and in 1529 he returned to Rome. His ecclesiastical career started in 1537 and he was ambassador in Venice from 1544 to 1549. He wrote two famous orations: one to convince Venetians to ally against Carlo V, and the other to induce the emperor to hand Piacenza back to the pontiff state. During the papal rule of Giulio III, he went to live in the Trevigiano area (1553-55). Following the election of Paolo IV, he returned to Rome where he was secretary of state. He died in Rome in 1556. He wrote "Galateo", at the request of Galeazzo Florimonte, from whose name the title was taken. The author aimed at writing a handbook, based on a moral order, to provide standards for social behaviour in everyday living." Paper cover slightly dust- marked, contents mint.
