Encompassing the history, tradition, and images of the great links, this book is a worthy travelling companion, and guide, on your golfing journey. --Ian Baker-Finch, Australian professional golfer and sports commentator

On the short list for the 2000 USGA International Book Award for outstanding golf book of the year, Links Golf: The Inside Story describes the beautiful land on which the links courses are built. Daley explains the term links and discusses their architecture, style, and great clusters.

This behind-the-scenes look at the health of links golf in Britain puts an emphasis on elements that are undermining its viability and long-term future. In a time when many treeless courses are claiming to be genuine, Daley explains how to determine what is and what is not a links course. Concentrating on Great Britain and Ireland, he also examines the unique characteristics of this early form of seaside golf, how geological processes helped shaped the land, and how links golf differs from inland golf.

Links are the soul of the game--the greatest places on which to play, and they teach us much about the way the game ought to be. So does this book. --Michael Clayton, Australian professional golfer, golf course architect, and sports commentator
