1929 'The Architectural Side of Golf' by Wethered & Simpson First Ed Book
Here is the ultra rare 1929 first trade edition of the 'The Architectural Side of Golf' by H.N. Wethered & T. Simpson. This gilt- stamped white cloth tome rarely comes to market, when it does it commands four figures and justifiably so. This reader explores different topics and subjects both relating directly and in-directly with architecture. " In all probability there is still room for an additional length quite sufficient to upset present calculations," Simpson and Wethered mentioned in this book, a prediction about how the ball would make an impact in the game. Between the covers are wonderful essays on the philosophy of golf
architecture and several course plans in color. Simpson was a
strong proponent of studying the Old Course at St. Andrews to
understand golf course design and construction. This is NOT the more common reprint, this is the highly desired original. Please inspect the accompanying lot photos for a detailed condition report.
