I enjoyed this book. The author had an easy style of storytelling and his anecdotes gave a great sense of place. As someone who had been to St. Andrews and who is keen on the subject of golf, I was an engaged reader. Avid golfers and those who are new to the game alike would find it enjoyable as well because there's something here to pique their interests--whether it's about the experience of playing on the Old Course or about various golf personalities.

The book was strongest when it dealt with local color. My enjoyment dipped when the author got too personal.

This was a fascinating story describing Sean’s summer living in St. Andrews rediscovering his love for the game of golf. One very interesting side story throughout the book was the early days of the LIV golf tour. This book had it all! Tidbits of history surrounding St. Andrews, beautiful description of the landscapes and courses, and awesome backstories filled with interesting characters he met along the way.

This is a book that non-golf fans and fanatics of the game could equally enjoy. Sean did an amazing job with his storytelling and descriptions of terrain as well as how specific courses he played are set up. This is a book that I read through very quickly once I picked it up. It moves fast in the best way possible.

I would definitely recommend this book!
