This richly illustrated coffee-table book is the perfect gift for the Toronto golfer and history buff. It’s a pictorial history of golf in Toronto, with over 150 maps, illustrations, and pictures of both the long-lost golf clubs and the prominent people who were the pioneers of golf in the region. It describes the nearly 30 golf courses established in the Toronto area from 1869 to 1919 that literally shaped the city. In fact, if you live in Toronto today, there is a very real possibility that your home is on a former golf course — or is a par five away from one.
 
"By carefully tracing the creation and demise of this city's early golf courses, Scott and Joanne have also discovered many of the personalities who, quite literally, built Toronto. Anyone interested in how many of our neighbourhoods came to be, and the transportation networks that enabled them, will be well rewarded spending time with this volume. It makes for great Toronto time travel."
