Annotation from
Golf Course Design,
by Geoffrey S. Cornish and Michael J. Hurdzan: | "Fred W. Hawtree, son of course architect Fred G., practiced course architecture for fifty years before handing his design work over to his son, Dr. Martin Hawtree. Fred W. has delved into the historical facts regarding the early games with ball and stick played throughout Europe, and then tried to explore the minds and habits of players and course designers of the distant past. Hawtree postulates that Jeu de Mail is the medieval game most likely to have evolved into golf, offering some proof and illustrations to indicate it was an indoor game in Scotland that gravitated outdoors to the links, that provided the large spaces needed for the game." p. 74 |

| Quotable quotes | "The first four chapters of this book examine the circumstances of the Battle of Baugé in 1421 and the origin of golf which Browning deduces from some of them; the last five propose an alternative route to the game's beginnings in Scotland." p. xi |
