A Few Rambling Remarks On Golf

by Robert Chambers

(Rare 1862 1st Edition)

      Offered here is an exceptionally rare 1862 First Edition of A Few Rambling Remarks on Golf. Included in this book are "The Rules" of Golf  "As Laid Down by the Royal and Ancient Club of St Andrews." Now keep in mind that the R&A was not given control of the Rules of Golf until 1897 by common agreement of the existing golf clubs.

     The rarity of this 1862 book cannot be understated. It is listed in Gilchrist's Guide to Golf Collectibles at $5000. The front cover is separated from the rest of this book, which is in otherwise good condition.
