A golf book to browse and revel in!
Unlike in football or tennis, for example, golfers don't just play golf the sporty Golf is not just about the activity itself, but also about being outdoors, getting fresh air, and sometimes enjoying breathtaking views of nature's beauty. This is especially true of so-called "links," golf courses by the sea. Originally, the word described a coastal area with sandy soil covered in grass. Today, the term is much broader, even though certain playing characteristics can be attributed to the old heritage: a dune landscape, heavily exposed to the wind and located directly on the coast. Golf was played in such areas because these barren coastal areas offered no other use. For some years now, links courses have been springing up like mushrooms, courses that are strongly based on the historical models from Scotland. Iconic courses like St. Andrews, Birkdale, or Carnoustie were long the leading examples of this architecture, but recently, new golf courses worldwide are developing into showcase courses, such as Bandon Dunes in Oregon or Cape Kidnappers in New Zealand. Germany also boasts some remarkable links courses, including Budersand on Sylt and Winston Links near Schwerin. This book is a journey of extremes – between tradition and its breaking with tradition. It's a journey to purist and sometimes very remote courses, as well as to the modern gems of golf. Without a doubt, these are the 50 most beautiful links courses on the planet.
