Where Golf is Great

Where Golf is Great
By James W. Finegan
Hardcover, 528 pages ($70)

Weighing nearly 10 pounds and bulging with 750 color photos, this tour of 170 golf courses in Scotland and Ireland offers a breathtaking armchair visit to golf’s “holy land” where the game was born. In addition to gazing into the luscious vistas punctuated by mountains, seacoast, sunsets and rainbows, you’ll also discover the histories of each course, meet the architects who designed them, learn about some of the famous players who’ve made their marks there and find out the best places to eat and stay if you’re ever lucky enough to visit. A treat for any golfer, certainly, it’s also a visual delight for anyone who’s ever been curious about the game’s legendarily spectacular, often forbidding home turf, in all of its grand geographic diversity.
