Synopsis
In this book, John Garrity takes readers along as he returns to the remote corner of Ireland, now home to the majestic seaside Carne Golf Links, from which his great-grandfather left for America. There he discovers why local farmers spent seven years carving the course out of unforgiving terrain, using only rakes and spades for their work. He visits Musselburgh, Scotland, where his maternal ancestors played golf before the first thirteen rules of the game were written there in 1774. In Wisconsin's St. Croix River Valley, he revisits the New Richmond Golf Club , where Garrity's father learned the ancient game. At every stop on his journey, Garrity reflects on the life and career of his beloved older brother, Tom, a former tour player.
Part memoir, part travelogue, and all golf, this book is for the enthusiast, the casual fan, or just the curious. The story of how golf altered three small-town landscapes and forever changed one family will captivate you and inspire you to find life's greatest treasures in your own family tree.
