A Round of Scottish Courses

By Jim Hartsell

Book Overview

Scotland is the birthplace of golf, and when you get off the beaten path around that wonderful country, you'll find many golf courses you've never heard of--whether 9, 18, or even 11 holes--that have been relatively untouched for over a century. Visiting these golf courses is like an actually trip back in time, a way to experience golf as it was meant to be, as it once was. Author Jim Hartsell takes readers across Scotland--and island-hopping on ferries--to find the essence of Scottish golf. He meets many wonderful locals along the way, who help shape the spirit of the place. It's a great read for anyone who loves golf and has wondered what real links golf is like. Features reproductions of 50 rare, antique B&W postcards assorted throughout the interior.
