On Many Greens: A Book Of Golf And Golfers — Miles Bantock | Nabu Press

A Window into Early Golf Culture

On Many Greens, published in 1901 by Grosset & Dunlap and authored by Miles Bantock, offers readers a slice of golf history through its pages. This edition is a faithful reproduction designed for readers who love period literature and the sport’s heritage. The tone, descriptions, and anecdotes reflect a bygone era of the game, inviting reflection rather than direct instruction.

What to expect inside

The text blends portraits of players, scene-setting vignettes on links and club life, and observations about the sport as played in the early 20th century. The writing emphasizes atmosphere, character, and tradition.

As a reproduction of a pre-1923 work, you may notice imperfections such as missing or blurred pages or errant marks from the scanning process. These details are part of the artifact’s charm and history, not errors in the text itself.
