"The real object of research is revealed by the pictures, and these are what F. and L. want us to learn from. Along with Anglo’s Martial Arts of Renaissance Europe and Gillmeister’s Tennis, a Cultural History, Golf through the Ages is the most genuinely scholarly book I have been privileged to read on the history of sport between ancient times and the nineteenth century."
Professor John McClelland, doyen of sport historians, at the University of Toronto's Centre for Reformation & Renaissance Studies.
