I had a chance to play several of these golf courses last year, so naturally when I saw this book I had to have it. I am very glad I bought it. The photos are spectacular and bring back lots of fond memories. I'm ready to go back. If you've ever had the chance to play golf in Scotland, buy this book. If you're planning a golf trip to Scotland, buy this book. If you love golf, buy this book. If you love beautiful photos, buy this book. In fact, I can't think of a good reason NOT to buy this book.

Lowe takes us along the rugged eastern coast, from St. Andrews up to Montrose and Cruden Bay and Royal Aberdeen, "from heather, whin and sand, to points north," to Nairn and Dornoch. Then to the west coast, to Prestwick and Troon. It's not only the courses themselves that Lowe illuminates along the way, but the winding roads, the ancient villages, the farms and whiskey distilleries, and the people who call this land their home as well. Each step of his pilgrimage is given its due.

This is a fine book for the golf enthusiast anywhere. It is a fascinating history and celebration of the game played by those who love it. Beginning with the origins of golf in Ireland this is a story of dynamic personalities who helped popularize the game. The evolution of the tools of the game is included with many great photos of early equipment and memorabilia. The stories of the great local and international golfers of Ireland are told in detail with some great action photos. Contributions of others such as Arnold Palmer are included, as is extensive coverage of ladies' golf, which has always been popular in Ireland. One of my favorite things about golf is the beauty of the courses and the Irish ones shown here are among the world's most exciting and varied, carved into the natural landscape. Any golfer will find something of joy in this book.
