The inspirational story of a golfing legend and one of the game's defining contests.
Steven Reid is a life-long member of Royal Lytham and St Annes Golf Club, which he captained in 1996 and is currently chairman of its Heritage Committee. Steven is also Chief Medical Officer of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and a member of County Sligo Golf Club at Rosses Point, West of Ireland. His previous book Get to the Point extolled the virtues of the Harry Colt-designed links at Sligo.
Thoughtful and thought-provoking
*The Times*
[Reid] works to examine Jones's complex mind by stitching the
various strands that Jones had to pull together to win his first
Open championship ... the story thrives.
*Jeff Silverman, Sports Illustrated*
The book should be considered as an additional to every golfer's
library.
*John Peter Hagen, author of Play Away Please*
A profound understanding of Jones the man emerges
*Dermot Gilleece, Irish Sunday Independent*
A fabulously researched, in-depth look at Bobby Jones' Open victory
at Royal Lytham in 1926
*Today's Golfer*
Acknowledging that few golfers have had more words written about
them than Jones, [Reid] still manages to turn a number of
fascinating fresh furrows.
*Dermot Gilleece, Irish Sunday Independent*
Most interesting and well written
*Bruce Critchley, Sky Sports lead golf broadcaster*
