Product Description
Gold had its origins in Scotland, and that country's beautiful but daunting terrain make the game very different from the cushy version played elsewhere. In Scotland golfers battle not only the willfulness of the ball but also the elements -- sandy grounds with bristly gorse, unpredictable winds, and ocean-sized water hazards. Golf at the Water's Edge offers a delightful anecdotal history and tour of Scotland's seaside courses, divided into five regions. East Lothian, West Scotland, Fife, the North East, and the Highlands. Within each region are sections devoted to some of the most revered links in the world -- among them, Turnberry, Royal Troon, Carnoustie, Royal Dornoch, and of course, St. Andrews. Lovely watercolor illustrations accompany each course, complemented by a labeled course plan. The book closes with an appendix of information for the traveler, including addresses, phone/fax numbers, months and hours of operation, and unusual course rules.

 A book for the golf enthusiast February 2, 1999
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Quite a book with awesome illustrations. Has all of the great links of Scotland with great watercolors. I keep coming back to this book. I have to go to these courses now!
What a book! January 15, 1999

One of the best books written about the links courses of Scotland. The reader can tell that the authors are passionate about the courses. The authors capture the very essence of what is like to play Scotland's link courses in text and illustrations. I took this book with me when I visited most of the courses. What a great find!
 Quaint illustrations, but not for the serious golfer. April 16, 1997
Harmless bit of fluff that looks more like a children's book than a serious golf tome. No real new information about the courses themselves, but the watercolor illustrations were good enough to keep me from returning the book. Can't recommend buying it unless you like pictures more than words.
