The Castle Course: How Scotsman David McLay Kidd and His Ragtag Band Built the First New Course on Golf's Holy Soil in Nearly a Century
Scott Gummer
When Scotland's storied St. Andrews Links Trust decided to build a seventh golf course, scheduled to open in 2008, the well-known architect of Oregon's Bandon Dunes, David McLay Kidd, was commissioned. Author Scott Gummer chronicles the days in the dirt and the nights in the pubs in this process story of how a band of diverse artists came together on a derelict potato farm and unearthed a field of golfing dreams. The vision, passion and adventure of construction are all here, including a hole-by-hole commentary by the architect.
