The Art of Golf: Courses, Legends and Stories

THIS BOOK APPROACHES GOLF NOT AS A COMPETITION, but as a cultural phenomenon. At its heart are the places, spaces and structures that define the game: landscapes with their own distinct character, courses with an architectural logic and rituals that have evolved over decades. This book is for those who wish not to learn golf, but to understand it. In carefully curated chapters, the volume takes the reader from the origins of the game - at the likes of St Andrews Old Course, Prestwick and Royal Dornoch - through iconic venues such as Augusta National and Pinehurst No. 2, to the lesser-known favourites of true connoisseurs. The perspective of golf professionals is complemented by insights into golf travel and the places where the game can be experienced in a truly singular way, alongside chapters on etiquette and the unwritten rules that have always been at the very heart of golf.
