Classics of Golf Library was created in 1983 by noted golf writer and historian Herbert Warren Wind with Robert Macdonald to preserve and make available the works of the leading authors of early and modern golf literature. The Classics of Golf Library selections were culled from the entire universe of golf books and penned by the game’s most celebrated authors and personalities.

The collection of sixty-nine books is available in reproductions (many of these books were out of print or hard to find) of the original text/layout and includes insightful Forewords and Afterwords by golf notables (many are done by Herbert Warren Wind himself) for those who cherish the history of golf through Classics of Golf.
