About this product
Product Information
One of the greatest and most beloved golf books ever written is triumphantly back in print, with a new introduction by Golf in the Kingdom author Michael Murphy, a new afterword, and never-before-seen photographs. Thirty years (and counting!) after publication, To the Linksland still enthralls readers who pick it up for the first time--or return to the book for the sheer pleasure of it. In 1991, Michael Bamberger, a newspaper sportswriter, gave up his apartment, took a leave of absence from his job and his life, and, joined by his newlywed wife, set off to explore the wide world of golf. Bamberger's first step in this madcap golfing adventure was to become a caddie on the European golf tour, where he encountered the game's most dynamic players up close and personal, including golf's greatest artist, Seve Ballesteros. Crisscrossing the Continent with his bride, Bamberger caddied for a true original, Peter Teravainen, a Yale-educated golfer with a workingman's spirit and a knack for making brilliant, on-the-spot observations about the game ("Good shots must come in groups of two"). Over the course of one unforgettable year, Bamberger caddied in the national championships of Portugal, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, and, finally, Scotland, golf's ancestral home. Once there, Bamberger fell under the spell of one of golf's great teachers and thinkers, John Stark. To the Linksland is the captivating memoir of Bamberger's golfing pilgrimage/extended honeymoon. From an all-night caddie bus on the back roads of southern Europe to Stark's secret six-hole course in the Scottish Highlands, Bamberger takes you on a journey into the heart of golf. This thirtieth-anniversary edition of Bamberger's classic, lyrical tale of discovery is bookended with a new introduction by Michael Murphy and a new afterword by Bamberger, with a trove of new photographs in between. Gloriously back in print, To the Linksland is a "great book for your golfing soul" ( Golf Monthly ).

Reviews
"One of the best golf travel books ever written . . . The book reminds us that the game of golf has many treasures yet to be discovered." --Michael Murphy, author of Golf in the Kingdom "Lyrical and inspired . . . A lovely book that will stand with the classics of the game." -- Kirkus Reviews "For those who like golf, this adventure may bring happy tears to their eyes. Bamberger's a great partner throughout an incredible tour." -- The Seattle Times "His was a marvelous journey, and we are privileged to share it. . . . [The book] deserves not only recognition but sustained praise." -- The Sporting News "There are writers who reduce ideas and there are writers who expand them. [Bamberger] is one of the latter." -- Golf Digest "Enormously appealing . . . a diamond." -- The Madison Courier (Wisconsin) "A great book for your golfing soul from a journalist who remains at the top of his game to this day." --Golf Monthly "Reading Michael Bamberger's To the Linksland was gloriously refreshing and joyously reflective of why and how we play the game of golf. If one cannot journey to the Fountainhead--the links of Scotland themselves--then absorb the true and happy golf experience through this book." --Ben Crenshaw
