Published by the American Sports Publishing Company of New York, this volume is identified as No. 3R in the Spalding Athletic Library Red Cover series. The guide serves as a historical record of the sport for the early 1920s, containing the revised rules of the U.S.G.A. and instructional segments such as Knotty Problems of the Links by Crafts W. Higgins. It features extensive tournament records, including champions and runner-ups for various associations like the Trans-Mississippi Golf Association. The text is accompanied by numerous black-and-white photographic illustrations of notable golfers, including National Amateur Champion Jess W. Sweetser and Rudolph E. Knepper. The guide also contains period-appropriate advertisements for A.G. Spalding & Bros. equipment, featuring Kro-Flite and Pro-Kro golf balls as well as Rajah crepe rubber soles.
