Golf

April 2023
1min read

The article in your April issue by Peter Andrews entitled “Links With History” was read with much pleasure, I’m sure, by thousands of golf fans. It particularly emphasized the fascinating facts and traditions that surround our game, and the colorful photographs depicting several of our greatest courses underscored golf’s intricate relationship with its surrounding environment.

The USGA invites all members of the public to visit our library and museum, Golf House, in Far Hills, New Jersey. Like Mr. Andrews, I feel our collection is “extensive and well ordered, tracing the evolution of the game from the earliest days to the present.”

We hope you enjoy our work.

Please support this 72-year tradition of trusted historical writing and the volunteers that sustain it with a donation to American Heritage.
