In the GOLF JOURNAL column, John Paul Newport shared his recommendations for...
"What to Get a Golfer for the Holidays"
"I personally have a weakness for coffee-table books with sumptuous photos of golf courses in slanting shafts of early sun. There are two superb new volumes out this fall, both limited editions. "Golf Courses: Great Britain and Ireland" (Rizzoli), with lenswork by David Cannon, the Royal & Ancient Golf Club's official photographer. It features not just the famous links layouts but also many surprisingly sublime parkland courses. "18 Greatest Irish Golf Holes", with photography by John Kernick, goes deep into each hole, with commentary by local experts and Tour pros like Padraig Harrington and Graeme McDowell.
Charles Lamb said that he felt disposed to say grace on twenty occasions in the day beyond that of his dinner when he would set out on a pleasant walk or have a friendly encounter.
So it is with golf.
We want to return thanks for much more than the playing of it; for the good companionship it gives in beautiful places, for the friendliness of club houses and conviviality of golfing dinners, for the traditions of old courses, for the exploration of fresh ones."
