Synopsis

An insider's guide to golfing in St Andrews, this book provides information on the course and the history of the game. It looks at the history of the town, with parallels drawn between the early pilgrims to St Andrews and the post-reformation "pilgrims" to the links, and also contains tourist information about where to stay, where to eat, and what to see and do in the area.

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
