A Novel from the Beginnings of Golf
By Bob Cupp
In this audacious novel, Bob Cupp-the acclaimed golf architect-weaves from historical fact a rich tapestry of sport, intrigue, and politics about a time when the game as we know it was taking recognizable form. By 1457, after centuries of strife in England, Scotland has finally emerged free, independent, and, in the realm of Fife, prosperous. St. Andrews has become famous for its cathedral, its university, and for the game developed out in the linksland by shepherds using balls and clubs to while away the hours. One of them, Caeril Patersone, is sufficiently skilled to compete for the title of champion golfer of the year, but in this quest he must content with not only his competition but also the conniving financier in league with a sordid nobleman, not to mention the ravishing girl they have enlisted to further their interests at his expense.
