World Atlas of Golf by Mark Rowlinson
A guide to some of the world's greatest golf courses with narratives on how they were created, this book explores the science and history of golf course construction. It features 70 of the most famous holes and the players who have played on them throughout the years. The gazetteer section that complements the book gives maps, course cards and descriptions of a further 100 outstanding courses throughout the world.
"..the most splendidly written, edited and illustrated book that has yet come my way." Henry Longhurst, The Sunday Times "I can only react with wonder and admiration at this gigantic work... the words and pictures complement each other to the point where the description of Kilarney is so vivid that the reading almost brings a hint of peat smoke to the nostrils." Peter Dobereiner, The Observer "...a book you would love to give to your oldest and dearest golfing friend and one which you yourself would like to recieve as a present... It succeeds brilliantly and the result of the combined efforts of all concerned is a book which far exceeds anything of the kind which has ever been attempted before and which therefore is a golf collector's dream." Tom Scott, Golf Illustrated
