All Courses Great And Small: A Golfer’s Pilgrimage To England And Wales’ (book) by James W. Finegan
Open the pages and travel on a circular tour of the English and Welsh landscape, and discover the golfing pleasures found there. From the heathland in the north and center to the linksland on the coasts, England and Wales present an extraordinary variety of great golf experiences. In this book, James W. Finegan treats the reader to a countries-wide survey of these golfing delights. Finegan also gives pointers on how to book your tee times in these not-so-foreign lands; highlights the best of the not quite four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire; gives advice about lunch after your round at Sandwich; raises a cup of grog at Gog Magog; and tackles the playing and pronouncing problems posed by Pwllheli. He gives full due to the best-known places such as Rye, Wentworth, Hoylake, and the royals, but he also declares such lesser-known treasures as St. Enodoc, Silloth-on-Solway, Southerndown, and Pennard to be every bit as worthy of your time and attention.

‘Golf by Design’ (Paperback Book) by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
Few people understand the game of golf better than Robert Trent Jones, Jr. In this book, he draws on his lifetime of experience as both a designer and a player to teach golfers how to improve their game by analyzing each hole from a designer’s perspective - how to beat the course by outwitting its architect. From tee to green, from fairway to rough, Jones decodes the designer’s intentions, explaining how architects use optical illusions, elevation changes, forced carries, trees, sand, and even different types of grasses to challenge a golfer’s playing skills. He then presents expert strategies for counterattack - from constructing the ideal approach shot to taking advantage of the wind and playing across water. Peppered with delightful personal anecdotes about the construction of many of the world’s most dramatic courses, illustrated throughout with dazzling color photographs and instructive diagrams and drawings, ‘Golf By Design’ is a not-to-be-missed guide to one of the world’s best-
