Golf's Original Fairways

'For all that has been written about Scotland’s golfing past, these stories have too often lived in the shadows. Overshadowed by more familiar names, overlooked by generations of historians, or simply forgotten as golf’s narrative became increasingly centered elsewhere. That is why this book matters. Mike Tucker possesses something every great historian needs: genuine curiosity. His enthusiasm for golf’s earliest roots is infectious, and his appreciation for these ancient courses extends far beyond architecture or chronology. He understands that Leith Links, Bruntsfield Links and Musselburgh Old Course are not simply historic places. They are living chapters of golf’s origin story. Through careful research and passionate storytelling, he reminds us that history is not confined to museums or dusty archives. It still exists beneath our feet, waiting to be rediscovered by those willing to walk the same fairways as the pioneers who shaped this remarkable game.'
