British Golf Links (Sports Media Group, ISBN: 1-58726-008-5, $85.00) has been named the best Golf Book of 2005 by Sports Illustrated.
The first-ever golf coffee-table book set a standard that many say has never been equaled. As golf exploded onto the sporting scene worldwide, noted amateur golfer and acclaimed writer Horace Hutchinson set out to chronicle the great courses of the home of golf-Great Britain.
Hutchinson profiles over 50 courses, many of them golf’s most legendary venues, utilizing historical accounts and information provided by various club secretaries.
Each chapter contains extensive historical information, hole descriptions, yardages, and general hints on playing. This is in itself significant but it is the amazing variety of early photographs, impeccably reproduced, that makes British Golf Links truly unique.
SI journalist Jeff Silverman writes, "Lushly reproduced, this facsimile edition includes an afterword on how these courses have changed, yet it’s in seeing the ways they haven’t that makes British Golf Links so extraordinary."
More information about this and other golf titles is available upon request.
