The game of golf not only has a universal appeal, but also generates more economic activity and employment than any other sport. This book is about how one man, Tom Morris of St. Andrews, presided over the greatest period in the development of golf. Born in a humble weaver's cottage in 1821, Morris largely made golf what it is today. From Morris and his son winning eight of the first twelve Open Championships to Morris being the first golf professional to design and build a course—Prestwick—this account shares the extraordinary blend of triumph and tragedy that marked this golf icon's life.
