1926 'The Links' 1st Edition Book by Robert Hunter
Published in 1926, This first edition 163-page book (D&J H27280) is a must for any golf architecture library and is considered one of the finest essays on the subject. A groundbreaking golf book to say the least, in that it was the first to use black and white pictures to demonstrate the art of good golf course architecture. There are fifty-one full page illustrations of the leading courses of the day displayed throughout the book. Hunter’s course designs include the beautiful Valley Club of Montecito in Santa Barbara, California, which he co-designed with Alister MacKenzie. He also assisted MacKenzie in the creation of Cypress Point and contributed to the redesign of Pebble Beach in preparation for the 1929 U.S. Amateur. In addition to the full page illustrations this book also includes 10 plates of plans and maps pertaining to noted holes of English, Scotch and American courses." This would be a cornerstone to any quality book collection.
