A lavish, full-colour exploration of the illustrious golfer and
course designer James Braid from the authors of "Creating Classics
and Masters of Design". James Braid was one of the greatest players
in the history of golf, winning five Open Championships in the
first decade of the 20th century - a feat cementing his position in
the 'Great Triumvirate' alongside legendary fellow professionals
Harry Vardon and J. H. Taylor - and so becoming one of the
brightest stars in golf's firmament. But he was also an
accomplished course architect, designing layouts across the length
and breadth of the British Isles that today rank as some of the
finest in the world. "Braid's Best: The Golf Courses of James
Braid" celebrates and chronicles the rich life and masterful work
of this remarkable Scotsman, who grew from modest beginnings as a
joiner to become one of the most admired sporting heroes of his or
any other generation. Sage, suave and imperturbable, Braid's cool,
far-seeing judgement as a player crossed over into his many design
creations. From the majestic Highland tranquillity of Gleneagles to
the rugged linksland beauty of St Enedoc in Cornwall, "Braid's
Best: The Golf Courses of James Braid" distinctively captures and
pays homage to a visionary man who has left a lasting legacy on the
golfing landscape. With an insightful foreword by Peter Thomson,
himself a five-time Open champion and President of the James Braid
Golfing Society, this beautifully crafted book, illustrated with
superb photographs and complimented by stirring prose, deserves
pride of place in any golfer's library, to be turned to and
savoured time and again.
