Product Description

Review

'A warm and insightful guide...Sutherland's sense of enjoyment shines through, all the way to the most perfect of conclusions'

(Herald )

'A marvellous romp...giving a pretty good idea of what golf on the islands is all about'

(Telegraph )

'A great concept...vividly brings to life the courses and often idiosyncratic island life'

(Scotland on Sunday )

'The most unusual round of golf in the world!'

(Sunday Post )

'If you're a golf fan you'll find plenty of gold in Sutherlands descriptions of his exploits...the tales of the people he meets, the animals he avoids and the apparently endless appetite for CalMac breakfasts'

(Buteman )

'Sutherland is very amiable company...a long distance from the stuffiness and snobbery of some golf writing, it's a refreshing and heartfelt journey'

(Big Issue )

'You don't have to be an enthusiast to enjoy Gary's rounds of golf...an exceptionally well-written book'

(Undiscovered Scotland )

'How refreshing it is to read a book about Golf which takes the reader miles away from the manicured greens of championship courses such as St. Andrews and Carnousitie'

(Scots Magazine )

Format:Hardcover
This is one of those books where you just can't believe that someone hasn't thought of the idea before.
The author has set himself the task of playing golf on eighteen different Scottish Islands and the book follows his adventures as he travels around the various islands meeting the locals and experiencing the courses.
He's doing the journey as a tribute to his dad who has recently passed away and the memories and little bits of biography that are woven into the story are very moving and well written. I'm not much of a golfer and I enjoyed this book for it's jokes, warmth and positive, life-affirming story.

My husband is a keen golfer and loves the Scottish islands, a big fan of the tv series Island Parish filmed in this area. So a combination of golf by an ordinary golf enthusiast in this setting proved a really enjoyable read for him.

Format:Hardcover
This is an excellent book for the armchair golfer or the fair weather golfer on wet days. It excellently evokes the magnificent scenery and golf challenges on the islands of north west Scotland.
