A Golf Story by Triumph Books (IL) — Used Book in Good Condition

Overview

Since its 1986 debut, A Golf Story has stood as a landmark in golf literature. It gently threads together three enduring pillars—Bobby Jones, Augusta National, and the Masters—into a single narrative that unfolds against an April backdrop rich with history and atmosphere. The book invites readers to glimpse the sport’s origins, its rituals, and the drama that surrounds the Masters each spring.

Charles Price dedicated three years to this project, including unprecedented access to Augusta National’s guarded archives. This openness helped create what is presented as the first authorized history of the club and the tournament, enriching the reader’s sense of place and time.

The prose conjures the senses—the glow of morning greens, the whisper of leaves near a clubhouse, the quiet tension before a pivotal shot—while anchoring the story in real events and enduring traditions. Drawing on firsthand experiences dating back to 1948, the work charts the Masters’ evolution and the club’s developing identity across decades.
