5.0 out of 5 stars
poetically anecdotal tour of British golf courses,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Round of Golf Courses: A Selection of the Best Eighteen (Golf Classics) (Paperback)
This book deserves to have been re-born, as it is a lovely, wistful glimpse into the soul of Britain's classic courses, such as Hoylake and Westward Ho! If ever a book personified a golf course, enticed you to explore the quiet beauties that get to the heart of the game, this is the one. Grasses whisper in the oceanic breeze, a brass bell sounds the all-clear in a vale at the trough of a blind fairway, sheep munch grass on the hillocks just shy of a dappled green. . . and every moment is rendered so vividly that you can wrap your fantasies around the experience. Surely one of the best golf books ever written, by a very fine British poet. If you have a romantic attachment to the game of golf, especially golf as it was meant to be played, here's the book for you.
