Golf on the rocks. A Journey Round Scotland's Island Courses

This is a book about golf, families, and thebeauty and sometimes inhospitable landscape of the Scottish islands. When Gary's father, James, died suddenly at the age of 58, his family was knocked sideways. After the initial grief passed, they started to think about what they could do to keep his memory alive. James was an excellent golfer and a demon withthe putter, so Gary, along with his mom, brother, and sister decided to meet every year to have a round of golf inhis memory. The prize for the craziest putt of the day would be James's "Magic Putter," kept by the winner for a year until the next round.Gary won the right to keep the putter for the first year, and then decided to take the memory of his father alittle furtherthrough18 rounds on18 different Scottish islands. Part-travelogue, part-memoir, this is a personal and humorous journey of remembrance and discovery across the beautiful isles."
