| Summary | "Fifty Years of Golf" by Horace G. Hutchinson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's personal experiences and observations of golf as it evolved from a niche pastime in 19th century England to a widely popular sport of national importance. Hutchinson's unique perspective as a participant in key golfing events and development across the decades makes this memoir a significant contribution to the history of the game. At the start of the memoir, Hutchinson reflects on his childhood intrigue with golf, recalling anecdotes about his family's connections with early golfers and the introduction of the game in England during the 1860s. He vividly describes the simple beginnings of golf at Westward Ho!, detailing how pioneers created makeshift courses and the camaraderie that developed among players. The beginning sets the stage for his exploration of the rise of golf, including notable figures, important matches, and the evolution of golfing culture, suggesting that the narrative will be rich with personal stories intertwined with broader historical developments in the sport.
