SYNOPSIS

The Golf Ball Book traces the evolution of the golf ball and the evolution of the game back to the featherie and theories on what came before. The reader will learn about the gutta percha period, the rubber core balls, how and by whom materials were discovered, quirky offerings such as the Radio ball, the different cover materials of the modern ball and the latest innovations for the 21st century. We've included pertinent anecdotes and reflections about the men who invented the balls, the companies that made them and the players who used them down through the centuries, plus a time-line of milestones—in effect, a history of the game as defined by the history of the ball. And finally, the rules of golf but only those rules that concern the golf ball directly.
