Description

Golf was chosen to return to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro 2016 for the first time since St Louis 1904.

Actually, it did make another little-known appearance - around the notorious Berlin Games of 1936.

A tournament was sanctioned by Adolf Hitler himself, to take place in the German spa town of Baden-Baden, with the Fuhrer's imprint even going on the trophy.

What happened next, as two plucky Englishmen sought to bring home that distinctive trophy, became an intriguing tale that would bring embarrassment amid the rise of Nazism and then World War Two.

Brilliantly researched and beautifully written by seasoned golf writer Alan Fraser, The Hitler Trophy tells also of the sport's history - and future - at the Olympics.
