‎GOLF; JAPAN. WHITE Cyril T. H.‎

‎Commonplace book containing documents relating to cruises on the China Station and elsewhere.‎

‎1890-1906. THE EARLIEST RECORD OF THE INTRODUCTION OF GOLF TO JAPAN Quarto 330 x 197 mm. The text block of a late nineteenth-century commercial ledger book recently rebound in mid-brown quarter sheep dark green morocco label dark blue cloth sides marbled edges. Approx. 140 leaves containing a range of ephemeral material some remarkable shipboard printings a number of quite well-finished watercolours of the Mediterranean China and Japan. A naval officer's commonplace book from the last years of the 19th century containing rare ephemera notably two printed documents of 1897 relating to the Hakodate Golf Club. These both predate the accepted date for the foundation of the "first golf club in Japan" at Kobe in 1901. Hakodate on the northern island of Hokkaido was the first Japanese port opened to foreign trade following the signing of the Convention of Kanagawa in 1854 and became a significant harbour on the China Station. Received wisdom has it that the history of golf in Japan "can be traced to Ryoichiro Arai a Japanese businessman in the silk trade who travelled to the United States and first played golf in 1900 at the Northfield Links which later became the Atlantic City Golf Club. During his travels back and forth to Japan he brought word of the game to his native country especially after he was given his own set of golf clubs in 1902 by Andrew Carnegie after they met at Pinehurst North Carolina" Mallon & Jerris Historical Dictionary of Golf 2011 p. 158. The club regularly cited as being the first in Japan was established at Kobe by the British tea trader Arthur Hesketh Groom 1846-1918 who built a summer house near the summit of Mount Rokko located between Kobe and Osaka. "Groom's involvement with Rokko-san didn't end with his weekend getaways. In 1898 he and a group of like-minded mountaineersÂ… perhaps motivated by the establishment of the Royal Hong Kong Golf Club a few years earlier set about to build a few links on leased land not far from his cottage. After three years of clearing rocks and underbrush without the benefit of modern equipment by the fall of 1901 they had completed their first four holes. Word soon spread and the growing number of golfers prompted the addition of five holes and the official establishment of the Kobe Golf Club on February 27 1903 with Groom serving as Honorary Secretary" Kobe Golf Club online retrieved 17.08.18. The two pieces here are both headed "Hakodate Golf Club" they are "Rules for Golf Competition to be played off on Saturday 4th Sept. and following days" - this is dated "3.9.97" and gives a print run of 30 copies; the other dated 15 September 1897 gives details of a "meeting of the Committee held on board HMS Immortalité on 12th September 1897 Captain Chichester in the Chair the principal matter under consideration was whether the Golf Club could assist the Polo Club by giving up a portion of the links for Polo" - showing that the club was already established by 1897 - and going on "The place that had lately been used for Polo and which had been suggested as a site for links although easy to get at for horsemen is difficult for persons walking or rickshawsÂ… The accounts of the Club were also placed before the Committee and it was found that after the payment of all expenses viz: buying grass cutting tools &c wages to green keeper and a present to the owner of the ground a balance of 15dols. Hong Kong remainedÂ… A Vote of thanks was tendered to Captain Trotman for the great trouble taken by him in getting the links in working order". Both of these are signed J. A. Keys as honorary secretary. The collection apparently assembled by Lieutenant-Commander Cyril T. H. White RN b. 1888 the album retains a card signed "Cyril T. H. White Royal Navy". White served on HMS Fauvette Mediterranean Fleet in 1915 and as lieutenant on HMS Irresistible. He was a keen philatelist elected a member of the Royal Philatelic Society in 1917 see The London Philatelist vol. XXVI and clearly had an interest in naval ephemera. The contents can be divided into two groups printed ephemera and manuscript of which a more detailed list is available on request. A highly engaging multifarious assemblage including material that rewrites the story of golf in Japan a country that now boasts the second highest number of golf courses second only to the United States and around 10 million people playing the game. hardcover‎

‎Graziani, Antonio Maria.‎

‎De bello Cyprio libri quinque. Rome, Alessandro Zanetti, 1624.‎

‎Small folio (184 x 250 mm). (8), 330, (28) pp. Architectural title page engraved (Cl. Mellan sculps.). With woodcut printer's device on final page and several initials, head- and tailpieces. Contemporary full red morocco, lavishly gilt, with the arms of the Barberini family on an inlaid shield of different-coloured leather on both covers. All edges gilt. First edition, dedication copy. - One of the fundamental sources for the Ottoman conquest of Cyprus in 1571, when the Turkish forces invaded the island with 400 ships and some 100,000 men, massacring Nicosia's 20,000 inhabitants. Thus wrested from the Venetians, Cyprus would remain under Ottoman rule until 1878, when it was ceded to Britain as a protectorate; Ottoman sovereignty continued until the outbreak of World War I. - A. M. Graziani (1537-1611) studied the law at Padua before becoming secretary to Pope Sixtus and, in 1592, bishop of Amelia (in Umbria). Pope Clement VIII sent him as his nuncio to the Italian princes and states to unite them in a league against the Ottomans. Graziani having died in 1611, his account was published only posthumously: it was edited by his son Carolo, who dedicated the book to Cardinal Francesco Barberini, nephew of Pope Urban VIII. Barberini was created a cardinal in 1623; in 1627 he became librarian of the Vatican, and in 1632 vice-chancellor. The engraved architectural title (by Claudio Mellan after Antonio Pomeranci) shows History, "magistra vitae", seated atop an elaborate Baroque structure which incorporates Barberini's arms. This is the dedication copy bound for Cardinal Barberini himself: both covers show the crowned bee arms of the Barberini family on dark green leather, enclosed within borders of blind rules and double fillets with corner fleurons and two different bee cornerpieces, all set within a wide floral border and double gilt fillets. Even the spine is richly decorated with bee tools running up and down between a floral railing. - Corners insignificantly bumped, joints barely starting at foot. Some browning and slight waterstaining throughout, also visible on covers, but endpapers replaced with old paper.

‎Ahead of the Game: Andre Jordan & the Tradition of the New in European Golf‎

‎Portugal: Golf Estates 2010. Book. Very Good. Cloth. First Edition. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. N.B.Top inch of book spine has been bumped otherwise As New.This book is copiously illustrated with archive photographs as well as high quality pictures depicting the Portuguese golf resorts developed under the Jordan Group banner including photographs of many of the world's top golfers in action and famous personalities from sport show-business politics and business who attended the many major events organised by the Group. The main theme of the book centres on how the Andre Jordan Group changed the whole course of golfing history in Europe and boosted tourism in the Algarve by setting a new trend in golf and leisure resort development which others were later to imitate if not equal. Quinta do Lago based on the American country club concept was the first of its kind in Portugal and it became the blueprint for the future development of residential golf resorts in Portugal. The emphasis in the editorial is on creativity and innovation and especially the Group's commitment to strict eco-friendly principles in the design and construction or renovation and management of quality resorts ie: Quinta do Lago Belas Clube de Campo and Vilamoura which today boast championship courses recognised as world class. The story also strongly underlines the imaginative marketing and new ideas that for example brought the Portuguese Open to Quinta da Lago in 1976 and helped to keep the championship on the European calendar at a very difficult time. A further series of seven Opens were to follow at Quinta do Lago as well as many other major tournaments such as the Algarve World Cup and the Taca Presidente da Republica. These events attracted worldwide Press and TV coverage thereby promoting the region as a tourist destination and doing much to encourage investment. Some of the most prominent names in the world of golf have contributed information recollections anecdotes and commendations on the achievements of the Andre Jordan Group and this has done much to enliven and enrich the editorial. They include Arnold Palmer Colin Montgomerie William 'Rocky' Roquemore William Hawtree Ken Schofield and Peter Adams.248pp. Golf Estates Hardcover‎
