    About this ebook

    Original, thoughtful and amusing, The Meaning of Golf really entertains.

    Golf Monthly Magazine says, "The Meaning of Golf is a funny, observant and insightful book that all those who have an interest in this great sport will thoroughly enjoy." 

    Taking a sideways look at golfers from President Trump to Seve Ballesteros, Tiger Woods and Old Tom Morris, and ranging across the US, the British Isles and far beyond, this book goes no small way towards discovering the essence of the game, what makes it so attractive and so addictive for those who play it.

    Its 18 chapters are a series of short studies and journeys, interviews too with incongruously interesting golfers, from the greatest players, teachers and course architects, to other less famous, but no less brilliant, aficionados of the game. The game's major tournaments are considered and celebrated as well. Golf, like life, is a journey or a series of small trips. So the book’s laid out in the same way.

    Additionally, the chapters are paced, in order and length, as the holes are on the Old Course in St Andrews, Scotland. And there are acrostics to be discovered in this book, revealing, perhaps, what the title promises.

    It’s not schmaltzy and saccharine, nor full of tired golfing anecdotes. When it’s raining hard and there’s nothing good on The Golf Channel you might enjoy reading it.

    Craig Morrison is the author of 18 Greatest Scottish Golf Holes as well as 18 Greatest Irish Golf Holes. New York Magazine calls them 'the most beautiful golf books in the world.' The Wall Street Journal says they are 'superb.' And Forbes Magazine calls them 'instantly collectible works of art.'

    He contributes to Golf Magazine as well as other international titles.
