We just returned from a second trip to Scotland and this time we played some of the more obscure (but wonderful!) courses - this book was our guide - and we loved the descriptions, suggestions, and the way the guide is written. We had four other books with us, but this was the one we used the most!
Must have if going to Scotland
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
A few years ago I was living in Cincinnati and wanted to take a golfing trip to Scotland. The local bookstores had nothing whatsoever in the way of practical guidebooks dedicated to golf in the UK. A database search came up with this title, and it sounded about right so I ordered it. A week or so later the bookstore said that their distributor didn't have any copies, or some such thing, but they suggested that I call the publisher myself. I was surprised to find that the publisher had a local Cincinnati telephone number. I called the number and was more surprised to be greeted with "Dr. Kroeger's office." The bottom line is that the author is a dentist in Cincinnati who wrote this wonderful book as a hobby. I purchased a copy, went to Scotland where I had a wonderful time, and signed up for a good teeth cleaning when I returned.
Very thorough and interesting book on Scottish golf.

I plan to go to Scotland for golf and I thought this book really helped to give me a feel for the courses and the traditions of the Scottish people. I thought about playing only the big-name courses until I read about some of the hidden gems. Now I think I'll try to play some of them. Enjoyed the history part of the book too.
