Gilt details on spine as well. Scratching, scuffing on boards. Rubbing to edges. Green marbled end pages. Other than wear on the outside, the inside is clean and solid. Sections of black and white photographs in the text. | "Walter Hagen made himself the leading player of golf and led his fellow professionals out of bondage. He won more than seventy-five championships and over a million dollars. He gave his victory medals and cups to his friends as souvenirs and spent his winnings on their entertainment. [...] Chick Evans once said of him: 'He's in golf to live -- not to make a living.' That explains the golfer and the man, his success and his improvidence. He has lived for golf."
