The Life of Tom Morris by W. Tulloch Pdf
The author, W. W. Tulloch was an eyewitness to the enormous changes in golf that took place at St. Andrews from 1850-1900, all of which revolved around the figure of Tom Morris, who was, as Ben Crenshaw said: "... the first player who had people's adulation that really made the game universally popular". Filled with sketches of the famous early professionals, the great matches, and all the stories of the early days of championship golf, this is one of the most famous and hard to get books on the game.Many humorous stories are woven throughout this great biography - for example:Tom Morris, at a commemorative dinner, on hearing a lady sing: "Doctor, her pronunciation is very bad, for I canna mak oot a word she's sayin." No wonder. The song was French!Tom's reputation for short putts was not good; in fact he once received a letter from a friend, addressed "The Misser of Short Putts, Prestwick", which the postman took straight to the champion.At Prestwick, where Tom worked in his younger years, a man was heard "shouting out one cold, frosty morning that there was 'a man on the beach trying hard to drown himself.' It was only Tom Morris breaking the ice to enjoy his usual morning dip in the sea, for he made a practice of bathing all the year round, notwithstanding the state of the atmosphere."This is the greatest of all golf classics, and no lover of the game should be without it.

Those reproduced from Gol/ Illustrated are interesting and valuable as specimens of early calotypes taken by one of the most skilful of the pioneers in photography, Dr Adamson of St Andrews. And I should like to associate this book with the name of her whom I call Lady Sylvia of the Silver City, through whose hands it has also passed. W. W. Tulloch.

“If you only ever read one book in your lifetime about the legendary Old Tom Morris—THIS is the one to read!” Written during Old Toms’ lifetime by a longtime friend of his—William Tulloch—it is the only biography of Tom Morris that was seen by him prior to his death.

Witness the development of his son, Tom Morris, Jr. as he develops into a world-class player, winning four Open Championships in a row, then tragically dies at the age of 24. And meet the various colorful characters who made up golf before it became a multinational industry. This is a must read for any golfer even remotely interested in the history of the game.

Monarch of the Green by Stephen Proctor Pdf
Shortlisted for The Telegraph Sports Book Awards Biography of the Year 'A splendid new biography. How good was young Tom Morris? Stephen Proctor makes his case cogently. Young Tom Morris was one of the greatest of them all' - Allan Massie Young Tom Morris, the son of the legendary pioneer of golf, Tom Morris, was golf's first superstar. Born at a pivotal moment in history, just as the new and inexpensive 'gutty' ball was making golf affordable and drawing thousands of new players to the game, his genius and his swashbuckling personality would set a game that had been frozen in amber for four centuries on the pathway to becoming worldwide spectator sport we know today. Exhaustively researched and beautifully illustrated, Monarch of the Green is a stirring and evocative history of Tommy's life (which also includes, for the first time, a compilation of his competitive record in stroke-play tournaments, singles matches, and foursomes) and demonstrates how, in one dazzling decade, this young superstar dominated the sport like few others have ever done.

The Long Golden Afternoon by Stephen Proctor Pdf
Shortlisted for the 2023 Sports Book Awards for Best Sports Writing of the Year Shortlisted for the USGA Herbert Warren Wind Book Award The Long Golden Afternoon tells the story of the transformative generation of golf that followed the rise of Young Tom Morris - an era of sweeping change that saw Scotland's national pastime become one of the rare games played around the world. It begins with the first epochal performance after Tommy - John Ball's victory at Prestwick in 1890 as the first Englishman and the first amateur to win the Open Championship - and continues through the outbreak of the Great War. If Tommy ignited the flame of golf in England, Ball's breakthrough turned that smoldering fire into a conflagration. The generation that followed would witness the game's coming of age. It would see an explosion in golf's popularity, the invention of revolutionary new balls and clubs, the emergence of professional tours, the organization of the game and its rules, a renaissance in writing and thinking about golf, and the decision that the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews must always remain the sport's guiding light.
