Description

St Andrews, once Scotland's greatest city, is today internationally renowned as the spiritual home of golf, a place that evokes images of windswept seaside links and legendary golfing champions. This luxurious full colour visual history is packed with acclaimed golf photographer Kevin Murray's spectacular shots and, as the Open Championship returns in 2010, marks the 150th anniversary of golf's oldest and most prestigious tournament. It includes a Foreword by a true legend of the game, Seve Ballesteros, famously the winner at St Andrews of the 1984 Open. Golf lovers everywhere will feast on the book's lavish photographic journey through the medieval city's cobbled streets, through the doors of many prestigious golf clubs residing within its greystone walls, and around each one of St Andrews' several great fairways - from the famous Old Course to the stunning new Castle Course.
