New Book Release: A Host to History

A Host to History: The Story of Atlanta Athletic Club by Catherine Lewis

Known internationally as the home course of golfing immortal Bobby Jones, and recognized at one of the best clubs in the nation, Atlanta Athletic Club took possession of the second edition of its highly popular commemorative history book. A Host to History—The Story of Atlanta Athletic Club was originally published by Bookhouse in 2005. The new edition was updated to include recent developments and was redesigned in the process. One particular chapter, “Hosting the Majors,” vividly describes the club’s special role in attracting major golf championships. The Atlanta Athletic Club is one of a handful of elite clubs in the nation that, in the history of golf, has hosted multiple majors for both men and women.
