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

Golf Dreaming delves into the fascinating and often-overlooked Aboriginal connection to the game of 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 History John Maynard, is rich in intriguing stories, from the barriers Aboriginal people faced in accessing golf courses and equipment, to the lesser-known connections 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.

Foreword by Professor Bob Morgan.
