All Courses Great and Small, A Golfers pilgrimage to England and Wales, is an irresistible and even more essential addition to the touring golfer's shelf and suitcase.
From Booklist
This third installment in Finegan's Golfer's Pilgrimage series finds the author on the trail of more undiscovered links in Great Britain. His first two volumes, Blasted Heaths and Blessed Greens and Emerald Fairways and Foam-Flecked Seas (both 1996), covered the golfing world's twin Meccas, Scotland and Ireland. This time he turns to less-heralded England and Wales but finds a succession of mouth-watering beautiful courses, most of which possess the added attraction of not being overrun with hordes of Americans. What makes this series particularly valuable is Finegan's focus on average golfers who prefer to play from the white (shorter) tees and for whom length is not the measure of a great golf hole. In a chatty, conversational style, Finegan takes us from course to course with enticing hole-by-hole descriptions and practical notes on tourist attractions and places to stay and eat. Unlike many accounts of idyllic summers spent on the links of Scotland by low-handicappers with high incomes (or expense accounts), Finegan's proposed tours seem nicely manageable for mid-range players and earners.
