Golfing the British Isles: The Weekend Warrior's Companion

The British Isles are home to some of the most celebrated golf courses in the world, offering incomparable history, unique traditions, and ferociously beautiful seaside landscapes. This gorgeously photographed book, Golfing the British Isles: The Weekend Warrior's Companion, provides a window into the finest courses in the UK and Ireland, with relatable tips and amusing commentary for the average golfer.

Written by Peter Gray, a middle handicapper and weekend warrior, the book brims with the same beauty, character, and sheer fun exemplified by the courses it depicts. Gray has golfed his way around the UK and Ireland, and he has the misadventures to prove it: from a disaster on the legendary "Road Hole" at Old Course in St. Andrews, to braving gale force winds at Muirfield (characterized by locals as "a spot of bother"), and even being urged to drink an entire bottle of Jameson 18-year-old whiskey after a round at Lahinch to cure a fierce case of the shanks (it worked).

Most golfers only dream of playing at iconic courses like St. Andrews, Ballybunion, Turnberry, or Royal County Down. This book offers a scenic showcase, featuring breathtaking photography from Gary Lisbon alongside insightful commentary and practical guidance. It will have golf enthusiasts packing their clubs, booking tee times, and charting their own pilgrimage in celebration of this singular game.

Part amusing travelogue, part visual delight, Golfing the British Isles: The Weekend Warrior's Companion is a distinctive book that invites readers to explore the finest courses in the UK and Ireland. With its relatable tips and entertaining anecdotes, it provides a unique perspective on the golfing experience in this golf-rich region. Whether you're a seasoned player or a weekend warrior, this book will inspire you to embark on your own golfing adventure through the breathtaking landscapes of the British Isles.
