Editorial Reviews
Review
“Finegan has a gift for describing golf holes that builds them up in the reader’s mind until they feel that they, too, have played the course being discussed . . . It’s a gift that is at times so strong as to be almost unnerving, evoking in me at least clear mental images of courses played years ago whose details I had long forgotten . . .”
“Finegan is a graceful writer clearly in love with his subject; his descriptions of the courses and their signature holes can be enjoyed by golfer and non-golfer alike. Finegan’s prose is better than any photograph.”
Product Description
Every golfer who’s worth his favorite putter knows where golf is great: Scotland, birthplace of the game and still its most important shrine, from the splendor of St. Andrews to the regal resort at Gleneagles; and Ireland, where the links like Ballybunion and Royal County Down are of unsurpassed beauty and challenge. Whether golfers actually make the pilgrimage or arm-chair it, Where Golf Is Great is indispensable: the most luxurious, entertaining, informative, and exhaustive book on these most important destinations. Written by the bard of Scottish and Irish golf, it combines the most authoritative information with the most beautiful prose and the most stunning color photographs—an unsurpassed celebration of the places where golf is, indeed, great.
Not only is the golf great, but so are the sights, the dining, the lodging—and it’s all here: the pub lunches and three-star dinners; the country-house hotels and full-service resorts. Jim Finegan’s singularly insightful advice includes the very best play-and-stay combinations for once-in-a-lifetime perfect golf days, in this once-in-a-lifetime perfect golf book.
