Not Just about Golf

I picked this up at the library searching for books about golfing in Scotland for an upcoming trip. What I found was a book that was about much more than golf. The author did a great job going back and forth between his time in Scotland and memories of his father. While I would have loved to read more about the golf courses, I thoroughly enjoyed the tales of his father, friends in Scotland, and the innocence of his young children. A great read for anyone, not just lovers of golf...and I really want to play Gullane!
