About This Book

A collection of personal essays and travel sketches recounts a golfer's observations from links across Britain, Europe, North America, and beyond, blending on-course anecdotes with reflections on traditions and the game's enduring fascination. Practical topics include the short putt, grip and style, club management, and municipal golfing developments, while narrative pieces describe championships, the spread of the sport, and life at country and city clubs. Interwoven are comparative judgments on course quality, lessons learned from playing abroad, and meditations on the social bonds and challenges that define the golfing community.
