Media Reviews
'an extraordinary book' THE OBSERVER 'Tobert displays genuine erudition on such topics as the history of the cathedral and university and, of course, the tricky business of playing the Old Course itself'. THE SCOTSMAN 'A must-have... crammed with all the titbits no lover of the Old Course should be without... combines history, humour and anecdote' BUNKERED 'ideal reading for all those wishing to expand their knowledge beyond the bounds of the fairway ... will find wide appeal among golfers and non-golfers, locals and visitors alike' ST ANDREWS CITIZEN
