Golf Dreaming: An Aboriginal Social, Political, Cultural and Historical Perspective of Golf - Paperback

by John Maynard (Author)

Golf Dreaming - An Aboriginal Social, Political, Cultural and Historical Perspective of Golf delves into the fascinating and often-overlooked Aboriginal connection to golf.

Historical accounts reveal that some traditional Aboriginal games bore similarities to golf, long before the sport gained global prominence.

This history by Emeritus Professor of Indigenous History John Maynard is rich with intriguing stories, from the barriers Aboriginal people faced in accessing golf courses and equipment to the lesser-known links between Australian golf courses and significant Aboriginal sites, including burial grounds.

Through these narratives, Golf Dreaming explores the sport's unique cultural intersections and its challenges, providing a fresh perspective on golf's place in Australia's sporting and cultural history.
