Foreword by Herbert Warren Wind In the opinion of many leading scholars of the sports world, what Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler is to books on fishing, Arnold Haultain's The Mystery of Golf is to books on golf. Whether or not this is an excessive rating, there can be no disputing that Haultain's treatise is both a historically important document and an extraordinarily evergreen entertainment. As such, it is a minor classic. The Mystery of Golf was first published in 1908 in a limited edition, then republished in 1910 in a general edition. This current edition is a reprint of one published in 1965 and retains the Foreword by Herbert Warren Wind. Haultain, born in 1857, was a Canadian belletrist. 160 pp 5 x 7
