Legends in Their Spare Time - Shane O'Donoghue - Signed Irish Golf Hardback

Legends in Their Spare Time by Shane O'Donoghue, a beautifully illustrated celebration of nine outstanding figures in Irish amateur golf.

The book tells the stories of Jimmy Bruen, Joe Carr, Jody Fanagan, Noel Fogarty, Philomena Garvey, Garth McGimpsey, Mary McKenna, Arthur Pierse and David Sheahan.

These remarkable golfers competed at the highest levels of the amateur game while maintaining careers and lives outside professional golf. Their achievements include major amateur championships, Walker and Curtis Cups and international competitions.

A substantial, large-format hardback illustrated throughout with historical golfing photographs.

Includes a foreword by Pádraig Harrington and comments from Nick Faldo and Jack Nicklaus.

This particular copy has additional interest for collectors:

- Personally inscribed and signed by author Shane O'Donoghue, dated April 2008.
- Two further personalised inscriptions/signatures, both addressed to the same recipient, Pat. Their identities have not been confirmed.

Published in Dublin by Primary ABC in 2007.

Good used condition overall. The dust jacket shows noticeable rubbing, creasing and edge and corner wear. There is also some wear to the book itself, while the main illustrated contents remain well presented. Please see photographs for condition and inscriptions.

An interesting addition to a collection of Irish golf history, sporting biographies or signed Irish sports books.

Collection available in Gorey, Co. Wexford, or postage anywhere in Ireland at the buyer's expense.
