Anotácia knihy

A lavish, full-colour exploration of the illustrious golfer and course designer James Braid from the authors of "Creating Classics and Masters of Design". James Braid was one of the greatest players in the history of golf, winning five Open Championships in the first decade of the 20th century - a feat cementing his position in the 'Great Triumvirate' alongside legendary fellow professionals Harry Vardon and J. H. Taylor - and so becoming one of the brightest stars in golf's firmament. But he was also an accomplished course architect, designing layouts across the length and breadth of the British Isles that today rank as some of the finest in the world. "Braid's Best: The Golf Courses of James Braid" celebrates and chronicles the rich life and masterful work of this remarkable Scotsman, who grew from modest beginnings as a joiner to become one of the most admired sporting heroes of his or any other generation. Sage, suave and imperturbable, Braid's cool, far-seeing judgement as a player crossed over into his many design creations. From the majestic Highland tranquillity of Gleneagles to the rugged linksland beauty of St Enedoc in Cornwall, "Braid's Best: The Golf Courses of James Braid" distinctively captures and pays homage to a visionary man who has left a lasting legacy on the golfing landscape. With an insightful foreword by Peter Thomson, himself a five-time Open champion and President of the James Braid Golfing Society, this beautifully crafted book, illustrated with superb photographs and complimented by stirring prose, deserves pride of place in any golfer's library, to be turned to and savoured time and again.
