Description
After playing over 170 links golf courses, David Oliver has written Golfing by the Sea, which provides substantial reviews of those courses that represent, in his opinion, the best 100 links golf courses in Great Britain and Ireland ("GB&I").
Included within the list are iconic courses such as the Old Course at St Andrews, North Berwick Golf Club and Prestwick Golf Club, together with classic courses comprising Ballybunion Golf Club, Brora Golf Club, Carne Golf Links, Cruden Bay Golf Club, Portmarnock Golf Club, Royal Dornoch, Rye Golf Club, and Waterville Golf Links. In addition to the courses that have hosted the Open Championship, modern links such as Cabot Highlands - Castle Stuart Golf Links, Dumbarnie Links, Kingsbarns Golf Links, Machrihanish Dunes, The Carnegie Club - Skibo Castle, St Patricks Links, The European Club and Trump International Golf Links (Trump Aberdeen) are analysed and evaluated.
Golfing by the Sea, published by Troubador, provides an insight into some of the best and certainly most dramatic golf courses in GB&I. The book is written by an unabashed links lover who believes that the congress of sea and duneland, places links golf in an elevated echelon.
