Richard
Phinney and Scott Whitley : Links of Heaven - A complete
guide to Golf Journeys in Ireland Published By Baltray Books
1996. When Ken Venturi was asked to pick his
five favourite golf books this was amongst them: "I started
going to Ireland to play golf two decades ago and fell in
love with the courses there. They are timeless treasures of
golf architecture, built before bulldozers were used to shape
courses. This is not a coffee-table book about Irish golf;
it's a history of courses such as Lalinch, Ballybunion and
Royal County Down. It's also a practical guide, with detailed
descriptions of holes and even trip-planning information.
Modern courses, with all their creeks and valleys and ponds,
tell you how to play each hole--everyone hits the same shot.
In Ireland, it's bump-and-run golf, where each player's creativity
comes into play. And imagine this: You walk the courses instead
of riding in carts. This is an irreplaceable book about one
of my favorite places."
