Lost Links

Literally hundreds of classic courses from golf's pre-World War II Golden Age have vanished over the years, including nearly 200 designed by legendary architects like Donald Ross, A.W. Tillinghast and Dr. Alister MacKenzie. In this sister volume to his award-winning book "The Missing Links," historian Daniel Wexler profiles 74 of the very best, bringing them back to life with detailed histories, color maps, and period photographs. Within "Lost Links," the reader can walk William Flynn's sand-strewn North course at Boca Raton, skirt towering Pacific cliffs at Billy Bell's mysterious Royal Palms, retrace Seth Raynor's footsteps at the Greenbrier and revisit George Thomas's legendary lost holes at La Cumbre. Also featured are great lost holes from many of America's most famous courses, including such standards as Merion, Medinah, Pinehurst, Inverness, Colonial, and many more. Maps detailing the location of lost facilities in 8 additional cities are also included, making Lost Links truly national in scope. While "The Missing Links" featured 27 of America's best, "Lost Links" provides a vastly more comprehensive picture of the lost classics of a bygone era. Any golfer's library will be enriched with the addition of this historic volume.
