About this product
Product Information
In this entertaining cultural history, Moss explores the circumstances that led to the establishment of the country club as an American social institution and its inextricable connection to the ancient, imported game of golf. Moss traces the evolution of country clubs from informal groups of golf-playing friends to "country estates" in the suburbs and eventually into public and private daily-fee courses, corporate country clubs, and gated golfing communities. The book shows how these developments reflect shifts in American values and attitudes toward health and sport, as well as changing social dynamics.

Reviews
"The title of [Moss's] thoughtful and informative book precisely states his double subject: the evolution of golf as one of the most important American sports and the emergence of the country club as an important (and often misunderstood) social institution. . . . It is in this patient exploration of the interaction between game and club that one finds the richest source for perceptive observations and insights."-- Journal of American History, "The title of [Moss's] thoughtful and informative book precisely states his double subject: the evolution of golf as one of the most important American sports and the emergence of the country club as an important (and often misunderstood) social institution. . . . It is in this patient exploration of the interaction between game and club that one finds the richest source for perceptive observations and insights." -- John Dizikes, Journal of American HistoryADVANCE PRAISE"At last, the lacuna has been filled. Richard Moss has provided us with a thoroughly researched and gracefully written account of the relationship between golf and the American country club. This book is a must for country club linksters and scholars alike."-- Benjamin G. Rader, author of Baseball: A History of America's Game"Golf and The American Country Club tells us how elite, white Victorian America nurtured a game that made Tiger Woods a household name. In doing so, it provocatively offers the country club 'as part of the social capital that makes democracy possible,' despite its reputed history as a privileged, exclusiveplace for fat-cat Protestant white American men."-- Peter Levine, author of Ellis Island to Ebbets Field: Sport and the American Jewish Experience"Golf and the American Country Club is an immensely interesting history concerning a subject intrinsic to the art form of designing golf courses. The business world of golf yearns for history related to its industry, and this volume provides historic information that business people seek."-- Geoffrey S. Cornish, past president of the American Society of Golf Course Architects
