With the holidays fast approaching, many family members struggle to find the perfect holiday gift for that special someone who is also an avid golfer. Too often, golfers are relegated to unnecessary items that end up taking up more space in the closet than on the green.
Featured in an article by the Wall Street Journal, Classics of Golf was mentioned as one of the best holiday gift ideas for avid golfers.
“I personally have a weakness for coffee-table books with sumptuous photos of golf courses in slanting shafts of early sun. There are two superb new volumes out this fall, both limited editions. “Golf Courses: Great Britain and Ireland” (Rizzoli), with lenswork by David Cannon, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club’s official photographer. It features not just the famous links layouts but also many surprisingly sublime parkland courses. “18 Greatest Irish Golf Holes”, with photography by John Kernick, goes deep into each hole, with commentary by local experts and Tour pros like Padraig Harrington and Graeme McDowell.
For those who prefer reading over gaping, Classics of Golf (www.classicsofgolf.com) has republished in hardback 69 of the game’s literary treasures, including Arnold Haultain’s “The Mystery of Golf” (1908) and Bobby Jones’s “Golf Is My Game” (1960).”
