Beskrivelse

One of the greatest and most beloved golf books ever written is now available on audio';a cause for celebration' (The Wall Street Journal)with a new introduction by Golf in the Kingdom author Michael Murphy, and a new afterword.Thirty years (and counting!) after publication, To the Linksland still enthralls readers who pick it up for the first timeor return to the book for the sheer pleasure of it.In 1991, Michael Bamberger, a newspaper sportswriter, gave up his apartment, took a leave of absence from his job and his life, and, joined by his newlywed wife, set off to explore the wide world of golf. Bamberger's first step in this madcap golfing adventure was to become a caddie on the European golf tour, where he encountered the game's most dynamic players up close and personal, including golf's greatest artist, Seve Ballesteros. Crisscrossing the Continent with his bride, Bamberger caddied for a true original, Peter Teravainen, a Yale-educated golfer with a workingman's spirit and a knack for making brilliant, on-the-spot observations about the game (';Good shots must come in groups of two'). Over the course of one unforgettable year, Bamberger caddied in the national championships of Portugal, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, and, finally, Scotland, golf's ancestral home. Once there, Bamberger fell under the spell of one of golf's great teachers and thinkers, John Stark.To the Linksland is the captivating memoir of Bamberger's golfing pilgrimage/extended honeymoon. From an all-night caddie bus on the back roads of southern Europe to Stark's secret six-hole course in the Scottish Highlands, Bamberger takes you on a journey into the heart of golf. This thirtieth-anniversary edition of Bamberger's classic, lyrical tale of discovery is bookended with a new introduction by Michael Murphy and a new afterword by Bamberger. To the Linksland is a ';great book for your golfing soul' (Golf Monthly).
