Description
This book is unashamedly designed to brighten your day; to re-kindle happy memories of previous trips or maintain your desire to visit Scotland with club and ball. We strive to showcase the selected fourteen links courses, from the air and ground, in a way that is interesting and captivating. The low sun aiding the understanding of the golfing challenge and the beauty of the location. Then there is the history. For this we look back over some six hundred years with brief observations of the key occurrences and greatest influencers and players to have walked these links. All of this supported by hand-drawn illustrations, an artform that we believe is far better than photography when reflecting on the goliaths of our game. To these players we will devote more attention, bigger illustrations and commentary to explain their status in the book.
