'Short History of Pine Valley' Book w/ Slipcase Edition Circa 1974
Located in New Jersey, Pine Valley was founded by a group of amateur golfers and designed by one in particular- George Crump. Crump was familiar with the area and had grand ideas while designing his first and only golf course, such as one should use every club in his bag while playing the course, consecutive holes shouldn't play in the same direction, etc. Sadly Crump died in 1918 before finishing his dream of a complex and intriguing course. Pine Valley to this day is perennially one of the top courses in the country. Given the exclusivity of the club, it's fair to say that the closest most people will get to Pine Valley is reading a book about it. John Arthur Brown, who served as president of Pine Valley for many years authored the third printing of the book which is offered in this lot. This 1974 edition comes in with the original owner's name and date written on the front flyleaf and very good condition, with in a slipcase.
