Synopsis
Book by Phinney, Richard, Whitley, Scott
Reviews
Award-winning journalist Phinney and former sports broadcaster Whitley have teamed up to create a golf-lover's dream book. Extensively researched over a seven-year period, this guide documents and details the history and creation of Ireland's renowned golf courses. Geographically arranged, each course includes background information at some length on its design, designers, unique geographical features (dunes, farmlands, moats), green and hole characteristics, and notable golfers and tournaments played there. Pertinent information?location, restrictions, green fee, address and telephone numbers?is listed for each course. Brief listings of 100 additional, not so famous courses in the country, the country's best 18 holes, tournaments for visitors, and helpful trip-planning tips follow the discussion of the famous links. Sure to be enjoyed by golfers everywhere.?Ann E. Cohen, Rochester P.L., N.Y.
