Description
Excerpt from The Book of Golf and Golfers
It may be said that there is too much of England and too little of Scotland in this book of Scotland''s national game that it is mainly English, whereas it should be mainly Scotch - only one Scotsman, indeed, bearing a hand in it, and his handiwork dealing with American, rather than British, golf. But this is surely rather narrow criticism. We of England are very ready to subscribe ourselves British rather than English, embracing Scotland with a good heart - we are all grateful to Scotland for giving us her game; we have no national jealousy in the matter. Why should she Has she We believe not. It is not Scotsmen, but only those who take on themselves, with little right, to speak for Scotsmen that would claim it for her.
