The Vardon Invasion: Harry's Triumphant 1900 America Tour

About this book

Harrys Triumphant 1900 American Tour. Bob Labbance with Brian Siplo. In 1899 Harry Vardon dominated competitive golf in the UK winning nearly 75 percent of the matches and tournaments in which he participated which led to a lucrative endorsement contract with the American-based Spaulding Company and a chance to display his skills against all the top players of the era. Vardons tour is recreated in this portrait of golf in 1900 America which includes many fascinating period photographs of both players and venues.
