Folkestone Golf Club "Official handbook"
London: The Golf Clubs Association, 1939. 19p. Scarce handbook, not recorded. More
Club handbooks published in the United Kingdom.
Given out to potential new members or current members. Well known authors have written many of these booklets, Bernard Darwin, Robert Browning, Henry Longhurst, Tom Scott to name but a few. Multiple editions are often found from the same club, with updated information often of the club committee and fees. Most pre 1940 handbooks are clearly dated, post 1946 are usually not making them always in date. They make for great reading the hole by hole descriptions and often short club history. A challange to collect as many would have been disguarded.
