I used to collect club histories and I think it's very hard to make them interesting to read unless a) there is a good deal of tournament history or, 2) in the unique cases of Pine Valley, National, Cypress, (maybe) Seminole and, (maybe) Dornoch, the course itself is uber-legendary.
Say what you want about ANGC, they've got a lot of stuff to write about that's important to golf.
I've read over 50 of them and, without good older pictures of the golf course, how interesting is it to read about dead club presidents that would, otherwise, never be mentioned in a book? Or, for me, to look at pictures of a golf course you've never played? Or, even if you've played Pebble, learn more than you ever wanted to know about the history of the Del Monte Real Estate Company? With the exception of the above, I think they're written for a small percentage of the members and, since the birth of GCA, the small band of golf architecture aficionados.
I wouldn't want to have to write one that was expected to be a Pulitzer finalist.
