This book was conceived to establish a relationship between Freemasonry and the foundation of golf clubs, but my research became much extended, causing me to examine the influence of the military in relation to both. It is well known that both Freemasonry and golf have expanded their tentacles to most parts of the world, and it is the military who have provided the conduit for this expansion. It is to them that we owe the dissemination of golf and Freemasonry around the world. The book covers the history of both over a 300-year period from 1600 to 1900. It was remarkable how often the same names appeared in all three disciplines. Without doubt a relationship has been established and long may it continue.

David took up writing late in life having spent 40 years as a Chartered Architect mainly in London and won four design awards. After retiring from architecture, he became the Editor of a monthly golf publication entitled The Gold Club Secretary for nine years. It was during this period that his writing became more than a hobby. This is the seventh book he has written. His sixth book, England’s Finest Links, was shortlisted for the sports book of the year in 2012; it came third in its class.
