The Uncorrupted Pleasure Of An Old Bladed Putter is a love letter to golf, revealing something of the beauty, joy and comradeship that the author James Ellis-Caird has taken from his golfing life. In doing so, it is quietly revolutionary, depicting a vision of golf free from the constraints of convention and expectation, in which being 'good enough' is the goal, allowing space for personal expression, an appreciation of nature and the joy of the little things to come to the fore. A lesson not just for golf, but also perhaps for a quieter, gentler way to live our lives.
Whether you're a non-golfer, a new golfer, an old golfer or an ex-golfer, The Uncorrupted Pleasure Of An Old Bladed Putter offers gentle words of wisdom and a fond conversational style that will have you reaching for the nearest golf club and falling in love with the game all over again.

James was captivated by the game of golf after striking his first shot with a borrowed five iron at Chesham and Ley Hill GC. Over thirty five years later his love affair with the game is still going strong, channeling his passion into changing the way people think about the sport and ultimately allowing more people to get out there and enjoy the game.
After living all his life in Buckinghamshire, James, his wife and 8 year old son are embarking on a new adventure and moving to the North Yorkshire coastline. With the intention to start a smallholding, play some beautiful golf courses, surf some waves and eat lots of fish and chips.
