Tom Doak Confidential Guide

If you’re even a little obsessed with golf course architecture, this book is basically your new Great Britain and Irish travel bible. In the Confidential Guide to Golf Courses 2nd Edition: Volume 1 – Great Britain and Ireland, Doak doesn’t sugarcoat anything—he’s honest, sharp, and sometimes hilariously blunt, which makes it way more fun to read than your average course guide. The mix of deep insight, dry humor, and that “I’ve actually been there” credibility makes you trust every word. Great if you’re planning a trip—or just want to daydream about playing links-land legends from your couch. Just a heads-up: this gem is currently sold out on the official site , but you might still find a copy through specialty retailers like Fine Golf Books or on eBay .
