Historical Accuracy Disclaimer

A Note on Historical Accuracy

Every story in The Golf Letters is researched against primary sources, period journalism, official golf records, and published historical accounts. We approach the history of this game with the reverence it deserves — verifying dates, names, outcomes, and biographical details before committing them to paper. Our goal is not merely to entertain but to faithfully represent the men, courses, and moments that shaped golf into what it is today.

That said, The Golf Letters is produced for educational and entertainment purposes. Golf history, like all history, contains gaps, contested accounts, and records that have been revised over time. Where sources conflict, we rely on the most widely accepted scholarly or journalistic account and note ambiguities where they are meaningful. The letters are written in narrative form — vivid, personal, and meant to be read the way the best golf writing has always been read: with a cup of something warm, in no particular hurry. They are not academic papers, and they should not be treated as definitive legal or genealogical records. Any opinions expressed within the letters reflect the perspective of the storytelling voice and the era being described, not necessarily the views of The Golf Letters as a company.
