Tommy's Honour by Kevin Cook

Tommy's Honour by Kevin Cook

The definitive account of golf's founding father and son, Old and Young Tom Morris. For the first time, the two will be portrayed as men of flesh and blood -- heroic but also ambitious, loving but sometimes confused and angry. Two men from one household, with ambitions that made them devoted partners as well as ardent foes.

'The best sports books present their heroes as complex people who happen to inhabit the world of games' Sports Illustrated

Kevin Cook, formerly a staff member at Golf Magazine, has been a sportswriter for 25 years and has spent a lot of that time researching the life of Tom Morris, having heard about the legend while playing the Old Course on his first trip to St Andrews in the late eighties. He was amazed at how even hardcore golf fans knew next to nothing about Tom Morris, modern sport's first superstar. He professes a feeling for this story 'in his bones', having been a golfer for 35 years and his late father a professional athlete and serious gambler. Winner of the 1998 Golf Writers' Association of America feature-writing award, he has also written for GQ, Playboy, Vogue, Golf Digest and Sports Ilustrated -- whom he joined as senior editor in 1997 -- and discusses the game as an analyst on ESPN.
