The Golf Library

I collect & share golf books, magazines, films, records… mainly 1920s-1990s. I enjoy studying the swings & personalities of golf’s past. Insta:thegolflibrarian

@BrendanPorath The player and manufacturer part was clear when many came out using the same phrase “it’s a solution in search of a problem”.

@acaseofthegolf1 I just took a while finding it. I had forgotten it is in the caddies section.

The US Women’s Open is on next week at Riviera.

Here is Judy Rankin chatting to Dame Laura Davies about her awesome length off the tee. This is from the third round of the 1994 US Women’s Open at Indianwood Golf and Country Club in Michigan.

That left foot action would not look at all out of place today.

@Idahopro59 A lot of bunkers

“Trevino at 12. Right on the flag.”

The greens are drying out in the third round of the 1986 US Open at Shinnecock Hills.

Look at the muscle definition of young Arnold Palmer. He was 29-30 years old here in 1959.

With one Masters green jacket already he would win three of the next five, bring the game to the masses and ignite golf’s television era.

The majors are coming.

@jeremyrockliff A few metres from what was The Sandy Bay Golf Links.

@BioMathJason @jarodhitchcock 68.33 scoring average with the old gear would stand up against most competition.

@FedExCuck Oh no! That’s one of the dangers.

I already have both the US and UK coverage of the 86 US Open at Shinnecock. So why would I buy these? You never know what a fellow golf nerd who tapes golf might have pressed record on back in 1986. They are not commercial releases that have only what’s advertised on the spine. And by that I’m alluding to golf porn not real porn you sickos.

@golfingmetalhed eBay mainly

@bhughesgolf They multiply.

@KVanValkenburg No I don’t think he does. But if he changed to a van he could take a set of decks and speakers on the road and bring back DJ Griffy Griff.

@AugustaGolfGirl One week from Winter.

@JoePompliano @GolfDigest His alter ego DJ Griffy Griff would have similar expenses or more. Though you can do it all from a USB these days.

@SHistorians Good to know thanks. I got a few of these and nearly did on the first one.
