Description
This book provides in depth coverage of the greatest links and in land courses of Scotland and Ireland, known for their character, sparkle, fascination, challenge, and history. Filled with more original photography than anyone has seen in eons, and written in the wonderfully impassioned voice of a legendary golf raconteur, the book provides not only on the course secrets but also off the course ideas for the full luxury golf holiday experience - in person or armchair.
Reviews" Finegan is a graceful writer clearly in love with his subject; his descriptions of the courses and their signature holes can be enjoyed by golfer and non-golfer alike. Finegan's prose is better than any photograph." " Finegan has a gift for describing golf holes that builds them up in the reader's mind until they feel that they, too, have played the course being discussed . . . It's a gift that is at times so strong as to be almost unnerving, evoking in me at least clear mental images of courses played years ago whose details I had long forgotten . . ."
