Links to the Past - The Hidden History on Texas Golf Courses

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. In Links to the Past, Dan K. Utley and Stanley O. Graves take readers on a historic tour of eighteen Texas golf courses that have surprising connections to history.
