Download or read book Links to the Past written by Dan K. Utley and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-30 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As they tee up, make their approach shots, or line up their putts, few Texan golfers likely realize that the familiar landscapes of tee boxes, fairways, and greens can obscure stories from the past that played out on those same grounds. Such little-known links to the past include prehistoric campsites, a Spanish presidio, and a prairie where the Rough Riders trained, as well as courses constructed by New Deal agencies in the Great Depression or military personnel in times of war. Links to the Past: The Hidden History on Texas Golf Courses takes readers on a tour of eighteen Texas golf courses with surprising connections to history. On the “front nine,” points of interest include encounters with dinosaur fossils near Austin, a Comanche raid on a Spanish frontier presidio near Menard, and a battle between Anglo buffalo hunters and Native Americans near Lubbock. The “back nine” explores reminders of the East Texas lumber industry near Diboll, a training ground for the Rough Riders outside downtown San Antonio, and a race riot near Houston in 1917, to name a few. In addition, Dan K. Utley with Stanley O' Graves provide full histories of the courses themselves, detailing their design and evolution and explaining how they came to be constructed at these historically significant sites. Fun, compelling, and enlightening, this book is a reminder that history has occurred all around us, not just in historic districts, state parks, or even where official state markers might be found. Featuring “scorecards” for each course that include location, historical facts, and a “signature hole of history,” as well as historical and contemporary photographs and informative sidebars, Links to the Past is sure to entertain. Golfers, history buffs, and heritage tourists will want to toss this handy and engaging book in the front seat of the car—or zip it into the side pocket of their golf bags.

Book excerpt: “Hit the ball up to the hole...You meet a better class of person there.” —Ben Hogan No one knows exactly when the first golf quotation was spoken; nonetheless, we can be very sure it was unprintable. The game is a source of endless study, endless fascination, and endless frustration—which has led to an endless pursuit of wisdom about how to play it better. In the game’s 500 years of history, it has drawn the attention of kings and commoners, pros and con men, stylists and butchers, bag-toters and sandbaggers. All have had something to say about the game, its implements, or the impossibility of ever plumbing its inner depths. Randy Voorhees has taken on the daunting task of choosing the best, most helpful, and most entertaining quotations about the game of golf. From Penick to Trevino, from Mackenzie and Wodehouse to Updike and McLean, all the greats of the game are here, with thoughts that will enlighten, entertain, and ensure lower scores. So read, skim, dip, and savor.

Book excerpt: "Melanie Hauser pulls together the best, most memorable, and most outrageous stories ever written about Texas golf and Texas golfers." "Where else but Texas could Titanic Thompson - a hustler so thorough that he'd dig up road signs to set up a bet - do the impossible whenever cash was on the line? Where else could "golf's angriest man," 1940s touring pro Lefty Stackhouse, get so angry at hooking his drive that he'd walk over to a thorny rose bush and begin whipping his right hand back and forth through it, drawing blood? Where else could Austin County Club legend Harvey Penick spin his wonderful tales about golf and life?" "Filled with profiles, commentaries, tournament reports, and the outrageous antics of some of golf's greatest hustlers and conmen, Under the Lone Star Flagstick is a must read for anyone who relishes a good Texas tale - or the best golf has to offer."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
