Book Description
Published in 1934, this romantic novel has become an underground classic. A young American travels to Elie Scotland to learn how to play golf so he can return home and win the hand of the girl he loves. Needless to say, his dreams change rather radically in Scotland. All the characters are brought beautifully and authentically to life.

Of all the books I have read on golf this one stands out. Joseph T Shaw captures the obsessive dimension of golf brilliantly, relegating 'instruction' to a secondary position. The narrative takes us to Scotland, to windswept coastal links, a crusty old professional and, of course, a lovely young woman who can hit it a mile with barely a movement of her lithe body. The jokes are well done and the description of an infamous golf match in Musselburgh is brilliant. Amidst all the human drama reside several classic pieces of golf instruction, beautifully written and guaranteed to inspire. This is a book for the ages, an important historical record and a first rate piece of instruction on how to swing a golf club. If you are obsessed with golf, this book has been written for you.
