Who among golfers does not dream of playing the great windswept seaside courses of the British Open, where even the best can falter? Author Michael Fay, in the tradition of his first book, offers a unique opportunity to explore eighteen iconic holes that epitomize the challenges of these legendary courses. Each hole represents the essence of the links game, showcasing the balance of risk and reward that defines the sport.
