Book Description:
Golf in Denver looks at the people, places, and events involved in the grand game in the Denver area for more than a century. The photographs in this volume chronicle the sport in Denver beginning in 1896, when it was played nearly exclusively by a handful of socially prominent, wealthy Denverites, to today's popular sport played on dozens of courses dotting the metro area. Casual and avid golfers as well as history buffs will appreciate the stories behind the game, including an in-depth look at how local courses were established, tales of well-known people, and accounts of women and minorities involved in local golf.
Author Bio: Rob Mohr has been an enthusiastic golfer and history buff for more than 50 years. He is a collector of golf memorabilia, vintage Colorado license plates, and vintage Colorado postcards. Leslie Mohr Krupa is a historian and native Denverite who specializes in photography as research and as a hobby. These images were gathered from private and public collections.
