Publisher's Synopsis

A collection of the most challenging, spectacular, and unusual golf holes hidden amongst Britain's 4,000 courses—this book will inspire, amuse, and captivate the imagination of golfers everywhere

 

Complete with more than 300 high-quality photographs, every hole in this gorgeously illustrated sporting guide also comes with an outlined “perfect trajectory,” a commentary on each hole's remarkable attributes, and other shots to enhance the readers' perspective. By compiling a number of submissions from both individuals and golf clubs, the guide produces a resulting “short list” of 800 holes that were put to an independent panel of golfers—to arrive at a ranking of the very best 100. Each hole has then been meticulously photographed in order to bring the hole vividly to life. Many holes were originally simply part of the lay of the land over which local enthusiasts would enjoy a round, evolving over the years to become recognizable golf courses. From the country's most dreaded bunker to the lesser-known gems, the book features examples of Britain's immaculate modern courses as well as those whose terrain possesses qualities that no current day designer would possibly consider incorporating into a new layout.
