September 6, 2010

Links golf in the twenty-first century is experiencing a renaissance. True Links: An Illustrated Guide to the Glories of the World's 246 Links Courses by George Peper and Malcolm Campbell (Artisan, £30.00) takes you on a breathtaking tour of the finest links courses and the most challenging and invigorating holes a golfer can tackle.

A joy for any golf lover, this beautifully illustrated hardback identifies, catalogues and celebrates the genuine links courses of the world. Selecting only 246 among the world's 35,000 golf courses, the book is as special and entertaining as the courses it describes.

"George Peper and Malcolm Campbell command the world of links golf, from ancient St Andrews to the newly minted Cabot Links," says James W. Finegan, author of Where Golf Is Great. "When they say a course is a links, you can stake your favourite hybrid on it."

True Links features 84 courses in Scotland , 58 in Ireland , 53 in England and 15 in Wales and then on to 36 other links courses across the globe . "If you have not already played them, this book will make you want to do so," says Sir Michael Bonallack, former secretary of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.

George Peper , the American who has played everywhere and former editor of Golf Magazine for 25 years, and Malcolm Campbell , the Scot weaned on links golf and author of numerous books, conduct this grand guided tour. British photographer Iain Lowe captures the majestic landscapes and the natural elements of these rugged courses.
