Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. 1985. viii, 168pp. B&W illustrations. "This book is about golf and golfers at Letchworth - with a few digressions. The establishment of the golf club - the construction of the golf course and the clubhouse - the organising of the Club - and an attempt to relate how some very human men (and women) went about doing it. It is as though we were eavesdropping on their deliberations and noting their errors and nodding approval occasionally - let us not be too critical of their faults - let us be honest and admit that blunders still occur today- and resolve to learn from their and our mistakes. That is the great value of recorded history. To satisfy those who must have facts and figures a special section - throw away?- appears at the end of the book."

Using mainly the original records dating back 400 years, this is a major groundbreaking history, nearly 350 packed pages of never-before-published accounts of the Foundation of the Mathematical School, of the teachers and the pupils from the beginning right through to the present day.
