About this book
Fifty Years of Golf by Horace G. Hutchinson was first published in 1919. The preface, written in 1914, says that, as it seems to the writer, circumstances have thrown his life along such lines that he really has been more than any other man at the centre of the growth of golf.
Chapter II, headed How Golf in England Grew, names two outstanding events in golfing history: the bringing of golf to Westward Ho! by General Moncrieffe in 1863 and the bringing of golf to Blackheath by James VI. of Scotland and I. of England some three centuries earlier. In 1886, Mr. Du Maurier, the Punch artist, was at St. Andrews and drew a picture of the Golf Stream, as he called it, a succession of pilgrims of all sorts, sexes and sizes, making their way to St. Andrews.
