Nowwith the delicacy of Burke and Hare the shroud has been ripped aside to reveal the game's morbid secrets.It is not generally realisedfor examplethat King James II used golf to lure visitors to Scotlandtranquillized them with whisky distilled from his chamber pot and then fleeced them of their assets. The revelations come thick and fast. MaryQueen of Scotshad Lord Darnley done in because he refused her full membership. Maryin her turnwas beheaded to discourage further applications from women golfers.The Society of St Andrews Golfers for years consisted of a roomful of stuffed shirts while the real members dallied with wenches in the cellar and drank inferior clarethence the reference in the rules of golf to 'watery filth'. With a fine disregard for chronological nicetiesPeter Dobereiner leads us through the era of our golfing idolsfrom Hogangrimly perfecting the 'pronation' of his wriststo the adoration of the infant Palmer by the three wise guys bearing golfing giftsfrom Player communing with juggle animals to Ballesteros conspiring with Mephisto and Beelzebub. Destined to become a cult book like 'Roots'or Stanley Gibbons' Stamp Catalogue and possibly even his 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'here is golf's own irreverent Myth of Origin.
