The South West of France is ‘golf country’. Guy Lalanne gives us a precise and well researched history.
Pau (1856) and Biarritz (1881) are widely described in this book, as are all the others, such as Chantaco, Chiberta and La Nivelle. Defunct golf courses are also mentioned, such as ‘Le golf des Anglais’ at Saint-Jean-de-Luz, Argelès Gazost, Gavarnie, Hendaye etc.
To show just how much attention the author paid to this research, he included two lesser known small golf courses, Iduskian (1924) and Mendichka (1930).
For those interested in the history of golf in France this book is a ‘must read’.

Golf de Chantilly was inaugurated in 1909 with a match between the French golf legends Arnaud Massy and Jean Gassiat.
The course was designed in 1909 by the English champion J.H. Taylor. It was modified in 1920 by Simpson (see also the book on Fowler reviewed here).
Over the years Golf de Chantilly has hosted many national and international competitions, and continues to do so. The club has a well established tradition of supporting top level competitive amateur golf.
The book has many interesting illustrations, some of which are particularly rare.
