176 pages. "When the representatives of six Canadian golf clubs met in Ottawa 100 years ago to discuss creating a national administrative body that would organize and run the country's national golf championship, none of them could have foreseen the tremendous impact the Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) would have on golf in Canada... A book that captures the spirit of those early meetings and propels us through the rich history of golf in this country. Accompanied by compelling photographs from the RCGA archives, Gordon's book celebrates the accomplishments of Canadian golfers past and present as well as highlighting the extraordinary moments in Canadian golf from George Lyon's gold medal at the 1904 Olympics to Canada's stunning victory at the 1994 Dunhill Cup." - from dust jacket.
