One of the wonderful side benefits of having a career in golf travel are the many related activities which are of similar enjoyment, generally all of these activities relate to golf! Golf related publishing is one of them and the aptly named “18 greatest Scottish Golf Holes” http://18greatestgolf.com/ is the latest addition to review. This book has just been released and is available for sale exclusively through a small collection of some of the premier private clubs in the USA and Scotland. The book itself charts 18 great holes of Scottish golf; from the Old Course at St. Andrews (17th Hole) to far less well known Hopeman Golf Club (12th Hole) in the Highlands, on the non links side it includes Loch Lomond (7th Hole) to the Kings Course at Gleneagles (13th Hole).
One of the most remarkable aspects of the book is the quality and variety of the photography. At every turn the author has striven to capture the essence of the Scottish golf experience with marvelous vistas and “personality” shots which capture the ambiance of the country and those who play golf. Craig Morrison and Andrew Ross who authored this book have a vision to create a series of similar books from other golfing destinations. If they maintain this same quality and creativeness, they shall surely do extremely well. If you are a collector of great golf books then I would respectfully suggest it needs to be added to your portfolio.
If a picture speaks 1,000 words it is difficult to properly capture the depth of this book, my best explanation is that if you enjoy Scotland and Scottish golf, then this book is a must have for your collection as it will doubtless bring back fond memories of golf in the “Home of Golf”.
If you are interested, please drop me an email (gordon.dalgleish@perrygolf.com) and I will gladly help direct you to an outlet for the the book.
