 The book was written by US founding father Dr Benjamin Rush |
The manuscript, which features the first mention of golf in an American publication, was the headline lot of the sale of books and memorabilia dedicated to the sport.
Rush (1746-1813), a founding father, describes the sport as "played with little leather balls stuffed with feathers; and sticks made somewhat in the form of a bandy-wicket. He who puts a ball into a given number of holes, with the fewest strokes, gets the game."
We have this glove signed by Tiger Woods and Steve Williams for sale.
