History of Highgate Golf Club
During its 100 years, the Highgate Clubhouse has twice been burnt to the ground (in 1926 and 1962). In both cases, all the club records and trophies were destroyed. The author, John Chaumeton, has worked painstakingly to uncover the significant events in the life of the club. the result is an insight into the nearest 18-hole golf course to the centre of London. In this book the reader will learn the secrets of how this haven of peace and tranquility, surrounded by the most expensive homes in Britain, survived threats of development and learnt to live with a massive reservoir constructed in the middle of the course between the wars. Along the way, the reader will meet the characters both living and dead who have made Highgate the intriguing place it is today. Publication coincides with the Club's centenary in 2004.

All Courses Great And Small
Every golfer dreams of making a pilgrimage to the British Isles, and it sometimes seems as though every golfer is in fact making that pilgrimage, especially when you're trying to book a tee time.

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 All Courses Great and Small, James W. Finegan treats the reader to a countries-wide survey of these golfing delights -- some famous, like the Open Championship venu...

The Golf Courses of the British Isles
Excerpt from The Golf Courses of the British Isles Some dozen or fifteen years ago the historian of the London golf courses would have had a comparatively easy task. He would have said that there were a few courses upon public commons, instancing, as he still would to-day, Blackheath and Wimbledon. He might have dismissed in a line or two a course that a few mad barristers were trying to carve by main force out of a swamp thickly covered with gorse and heather near Woking. All the other courses would have been lumped together under some such description as that they consisted of fields interspersed by trees and artificial ramparts, the latter mostly built by Tom Dunn; that they were villaino...
Open Championship Golf Courses of Britain
Played in rotation on eight courses throughout Scotland and England, the Open Championship is the oldest golfing competition in the world. The courses embody tradition that dates back to the very beginning of the game itself. It is still the ambition of most professional golfers to see their name inscribed upon the famous claret jug that bears the name of every winner since Young Tom Morris, the Champion of 1872. Each of the courses is profiled in its own chapter, with the author describing both the history and development of the course itself and the highlights of Open Championships that have been played on its lush greens. New and vintage photographs nostalgically complement the text. Additional courses throughout England and Scotland are profiled. Among these is Prestwick, where the first eleven Opens were played. Other courses that no longer host the Open, but once did, are also featured. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Keith Mackie is the author of many previous books, including Golf at St. Andrews, his memorable portrait of the "home of golf," also published by Pelican.
