Review
"..This is one of the granddaddy coffee table books of all coffee table books.." -- Poppers, Golf News April 1999
"..a stunning collection of photographs that captures the spirit of "gentleman's golf" in golf's birthland.." -- Golf Digest December 1999
Edgeworth belongs on any list of the top dozen or so photographers in the world. His books on the U.S. Marines and the British Guards units are lusted after by collectors and his work has appeared in most major magazines, including this one. His pictures resonate with a feeling for tradition and the deep appeal of the old, enduring things... And this book, with 258 Edgeworth photographs from the oldest and most durable golf venues in the world... could make a golfer out of Mark Twain. -- Geoffrey Norman, Editor at Large, Forbes FYI
This is one of the granddaddy coffee table books of all coffee table books with 258 spectacular photos. It is beautiful, oversized, 4-color, high quality with breathtaking views of some of the world's finest historic golf courses found in the birthplace of golf. Well worth the price; a book you'll cherish for life. -- Dan Poppers, GolfNews
This is the first book to capture pictorially what British Golf is all about. Imagine the visual equivalent of P.G. Wodehouse, Bernard Darwin and Herbert Warren Wind, and you will have some sense of the force and delight of Tony Edgeworth's photographs. -- Michael M. Thomas, Columinist, The New York Observer; and Travel & Leisure Golf; Contributing Editor, Golf Digest

Please read it too.,
By David (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Legendary Golf Clubs of Scotland England Wales & Ireland (Hardcover)
Much can be said about the spectacular photography. But to capture the real beauty of the golf clubs, you need to read the text. For all of us who have enjoyed a pint in a dirty bar, this book captures the essence of the gentility of the game.

Legendary Golf Clubs of Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland,
This review is from: Legendary Golf Clubs of Scotland England Wales & Ireland (Hardcover)
This book is great for those of us who are unable to "cross the pond" and see such extraordinary golf clubs. The photography is amazing and really brings the viewer on location. The section on Angus Guberman, scottish golf champion, was the most insightful ever written.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Legendary Golf Clubs of Scotland England Wales & Ireland (Hardcover)
Fantastic book, very high quality publication. Feels like you are at the courses. I have played several of these courses and this is next best thing to going and playing. You really get a feel for what it is like playing in the British Isles. Highly recommended.
