Product Description

Review

George Peper "Editor-in-chief, "Golf Magazine Few men know the golf courses of Scotland and Ireland better than Jim Finegan, and no one writes of them more movingly. On one level, this is an indispensable guidebook; on another -- in the tradition of Bernard Darwin -- it is simply a great read.

Product Description

The author journeys through the lush countryside and rolling shores that bespeak the essence of golf. A companion to "Emerald Fairways and Foam-flecked Seas", this provides a grand tour of Scottish links, complete with course information and workable itineraries.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it before you go and upon return., 8 Jun 1999

By A Customer

A friend gave me this book as a gift just before my first golf trip to Scotland. I played 10 of the 40 courses he reviewed. I read the entire book before the trip but enjoyed it much more after having played the courses. Many great tips in the book, as well. For example, we stayed in a Bed and Breakfast in Gullane and the author mentioned a restaurant there which he considered the best in Scotland. He is correct and we would have missed this wonderful experience without his book. His descriptions of many of the golf holes on the courses he covered were just great. For the golfer who enjoys the British Open and the Ryder Cup, this book will be delicious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehesive review of playing golf in Scotland., 2 Mar 1999

By A Customer

My husband and I are planning our once-in-a- lifetime pilgrimage to Scotland in July 1999. So far, this is the best and most comprehensive book we have read regarding the courses recommeded to us by our travel agent. Other books only highlighted the most famous courses (British Open quality) and left out many of the "less famous" but equally charming golf courses available to the public.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great guide for both the armchair traveler and the golfer., 28 Aug 1996

By A Customer

James W. Finegan, the retired golf columnist of the Philadelphia Inquirer, has written a gem of a book.This book is a companion of his "Emerald Fairways and Foam Flecked Seas" about the great courses of Ireland. Both books are boundless with their descriptions and characterizations of those legendary links courses of the Irish and Scottish Islands. Mr. Finegan takes us for a delightful ride through both countries for the golf of our life. We live through him, and his non-playing wife, the joy of heather, gorse and salt air blowing down the sand dunes. The people we meet are ordinary and extraordinary but the real heroes and heroines are the courses. From the isolated Macharanish on the Kintyre penisula of Western Scotland to the blue collar resort courses of the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. There on the first tee of Portstewart we feel the extrasensory thrill of blasting our drive down into the wild mix of towering sand dunes toward an unknown finish. Mr. Finegan has done for golf travel what Bruce Chatwin and Bill Bryson did for the intrepid shoe-hoofing vagabound. Read both books and be doubly rewarded. No bogies here.
