The game of Golf is indubitably Scottish - but long before Scotland existed, early humans employed primitive clubs, perhaps whacking stones to refine their skills in the hunt for game. Some believe a primitive part of the human still lurks hidden in the golfer. Perhaps you know one? Was Stonehenge a primitive golf course? Did the language of the golfer pass through eons of time virtually unchanged?The Game of Golf and other Cosmic Mysteries puts Golf in its proper context at last: a culture with a pedigree as long and complex as the excuses in the bar; a slice was due to the humidity, a ball disappears because of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.Here is the evidence at last for the true history of golf and golfing - even a lexicon of golfing terms at least 3,000 years old - a example of how even the Pope stole the design of golf's ubiquitous buggy - or was it the other way about? For the keen and not so keen, this lively book is both the antidote to an obsession and a celebration of the game's idiosyncrasies - the ideal gift for the gifted (or not so gifted) golfer.
