About the Book

Bernard Darwin could easily have settled into a privileged life as a respected lawyer - one who also just happened to be the grandson of Charles Darwin. But his conventional upbringing didn't prevent him from choosing a different path, abandoning the relative security of the law to follow his first and only passion - golf. While Darwin was no slouch on the links - captain of his golf team at Cambridge and twice in the semifinals of the British Amateur Championships - he achieved far greater notoriety with his pen than with his club. Starting as a weekly columnist for The Times of London (always signing his columns "Our Golf Correspondent"), he was soon acknowledged as one of the finest essayists in Britain. He was the first writer ever to elevate the discussion of golf beyond a simple reportage of events. He was also a regular contributor to Country Life and a frequent contributor to The Atlantic Monthly.
About the Author: BERNARD DARWIN was golf correspondent for The Times of London for almost half a century, and the game's most revered writer. The grandson of Charles Darwin, he was a prominent authority on Charles Dickens and was the editor of The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations. JEFF SILVERMAN, a former columnist for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, has written for The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and several national magazines. He is also editor of The Greatest Baseball Stories Ever Told (page 206), Classic Baseball Stories (page 14), Lardner on Baseball (page 15), The Greatest Golf Stories Ever Told (page 169), Classic Golf Stories (page 170), and The Greatest Boxing Stories Ever Told (page 193). He lives with his family in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
