One man's "poignant and revealing" quest to uncover the roots of
his family's obsession with golf-in Ireland, Scotland, and the
American heartland.
In "Ancestral Links," senior "Sports Illustrated" writer John
Garrity takes readers on a fascinating golfing odyssey. First he
returns to the majestic seaside Carne Golf Links in a remote corner
of Ireland, from which his great-grandfather left for America. Next
he visits Musselburgh, Scotland, where his maternal ancestors
played golf before the first thirteen rules of the game were
written there in 1774. And in Wisconsin's St. Croix River Valley,
Garrity revisits the New Richmond Golf Club, where his father
learned the ancient game. At every stop on his journey, Garrity
reflects on the life and career of his beloved late older brother,
Tom, a former tour player.
Part memoir, part travelogue, and all golf, Garrity's story of how
the sport altered three small-town landscapes and forever changed
one family is a captivating and unforgettable tour of the links.
