520 $aJohn Garrity travels to the remote corner of Ireland from which his great-grandfather left for America, now home to a majestic golf course. There he discovers why local farmers spent seven years carving the course out of unforgiving terrain, using only rakes and spades for their work. From there, he visits Musselburgh, Scotland, where his maternal ancestors played golf before the first thirteen rules of the game were written there in 1774, and to Wisconsin's St. Croix River Valley, where his father learned the Ancient Game. Part memoir, part travelogue, and all golf, this book is for the enthusiast, the casual fan, or just the curious. It's a story of how golf altered three small-town landscapes and forever changed one family.--From publisher description.
