Bernard Darwin - On golf
€ 9,90*
Bernard Darwin could easily have settled into a privileged life as a respected lawyer, one who just happened to be the grandson of Charles Darwin.But his conventional upbringing didn't prevent him from choosing a different path, abandoning the relative security of the legal profession to follow his first and only passion-the game of golf. While Darwin was no slouch on the links-he was captain of his golf team at Cambridge and twice reached the semifinals of the British Amateur Championships-he achieved far greater notoriety with his pen than with his club.Starting as a weekly columnist, and then a regular contributor, for The Times of London, he was soon acknowledged as one of the finest essayists in Britain (always signing his columns "Our Golf Correspondent"). He also contributed to Country Life for almost fifty years. Bernard was the first writer ever to elevate the discussion of golf beyond a simple reportage of events.This collection gathers the finest of Darwin's writing, and is a celebration of a life devoted to a love for the game of golf.Bernard Darwin was the golf game's most revered writer. He was a prominent authority on Charles Dickens and was the editor of The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations.

In every life, there are roads taken and untaken, choices made and dreams abandoned. And then there's golf. As a teenager, Tom Cox dreamed of sporting immortality. For four years he devoted himself to the game he loved. And then, one day, he walked away. But as he got older, those dreams kept coming back. Perhaps it was turning thirty, perhaps it was winning his local club's scratch championship, perhaps it was having his first hole in one, but he decided it was time to start again, to live the dream for real. So he switched off his computer, grabbed his checked trousers and headed for the golf course. To turn pro. There are two ways of becoming a full-time professional sportsman. The first and most favoured approach goes something like this: be born gifted; take up your chosen game early; practise incredibly hard; let nothing stand in your way. The second is more controversial. Just turn up. As long as you're wearing the right socks, you should be OK.

De beginjaren van de golfsport in Nederland (NGF)
€ 10,00*
Op 11 februari 1914 beklonken vier golfclubs afspraken die hadden geleid tot de oprichting van het Nederlandsche Golf Comité. De Haagsche, de Doornsche, de Hilversumsche en de Kennemer besloten tot oprichting van het NGC om zaken als handicaps en de organisatie van kampioenschappen en interlands te regelen.
De vroege geschiedenis van golf in Nederland valt samen met een periode waarin sportbeoefening voor het eerst werd gezien als een gezonde en nuttige manier van vrijetijdsbesteding. Voordien werd sport in nederland nog gezien als tijd die niet nuttig werd besteed.
In de eerste vijftig jaar van golf in Nederland zouden verspreid over ons land slechts zestien golfclubs een blijvend bestaan vinden, waarvan enkele al met een achttien holes baan. Minder dan drieduizend golfers speelden in deze tijd golf. Honderd jaar na de oprichting van het NGC - de naam werd in 1972 in NGF veranderd - heeft golf een niet onbelangrijke plaats in het Nederlandse sportlandschap veroverd.
Hoe de vroege clubs en hun leden gezamenlijk de grondslag gingen vormen voor wat nu een sport is voor 375 duizend liefhebbers, is een verhaal dat in het jubileumjaar van de NGF vermelding verdient. dit boekje wil de lezer deelgenoot maken van de eerste decennia en de beslommeringen die daarmee gepaard gingen.

Since his days as a young Washington Post journalist, Feinstein has written twenty-eight books and countless magazine articles and newspaper columns, covering college basketball, golf, tennis, baseball, and very nearly every sport in between. He has told us of victory and defeat, of athletes and coaches we love--and love to hate. But some of his best stories have been left untold, until now.

Every fall, veterans and talented hopefuls sweat through six rounds of hell at Q school, as the tournament is universally known, to get a shot at the PGA Tour, vying for the 30 slots available.
The grim reality: If you don't make it through Q school, you're not on the PGA tour. You're out. And those who make it to the six day finals are the lucky ones: hundreds more players fail to get through the equally grueling first two stages of the event. John Feinstein tells the story of the players who compete for these coveted positions in the 2005 Q school as only he can. With arresting accounts from the players, established winners, rising stars, the defeated, and the endlessly hopeful, America's favorite sportswriter unearths the inside story behind the PGA Tour's brutal all or nothing competition.
The Downhill Lie
€ 12,90*
Originally drawn to the game by his father, Carl Hiaasen wisely quit golfing in 1973. But some ambitions refuse to die, and as the years–and memories of shanked 7-irons faded, it dawned on Carl that there might be one thing in life he could do better in middle age than he could as a youth. So gradually he ventured back to the dreaded driving range, this time as the father of a five-year-old son–and also as a grandfather.
“What possesses a man to return in midlife to a game at which he’d never excelled in his prime, and which in fact had dealt him mostly failure, angst and exasperation? Here’s why I did it: I’m one sick bastard.” And thus we have Carl’s foray into a world of baffling titanium technology, high-priced golf gurus, bizarre infomercial gimmicks and the mind-bending phenomenon of Tiger Woods; a maddening universe of hooks and slices where Carl ultimately–and foolishly–agrees to compete in a country-club tournament against players who can actually hit the ball. “That’s the secret of the sport’s infernal seduction,” he writes. “It surrenders just enough good shots to let you talk yourself out of quitting.”
Hiaasen’s chronicle of his shaky return to this bedeviling pastime and the ensuing demolition of his self-esteem–culminating with the savage 45-hole tournament–will have you rolling with laughter. Yet the bittersweet memories of playing with his own father and the glow he feels when watching his own young son belt the ball down the fairway will also touch your heart. Forget Tiger, Phil and Ernie. If you want to understand the true lure of golf, turn to Carl Hiaasen, who offers an extraordinary audiobook for the ordinary hacker.
