Now in a fully updated and expanded edition, this book presents detailed portraits of Ireland's greatest and lesser-known links. "Award-winning journalist Phinney and sports broadcaster Whitley have teamed up to create a golf-lover's dream book. Extensively researched, this guide details the history and creation of Ireland's renowned golf courses. Geographically arranged, each course includes information on its design, designers, unique features, green and hole characteristics, and notable golfers and tournaments. Pertinent information—location, green fee, address, and phone—is listed for each course. Brief listings of 100 additional, not so famous courses, the country's best 18 holes, tournaments for visitors, and helpful trip-planning tips follow the discussion of the famous links. Sure to be enjoyed by golfers everywhere." —Library Journal
