The newly published Centurions of Golf - 100 English courses celebrating 100 years of golf - by Mike Berners Price is an absolute must have for any self-respecting GCA member.
As the name suggests, he focuses on the 100 English courses which are 100 years old or more. He breaks this into chapters as follows:
Founders and Influencers
Early expansion
London survivors
Open Championship courses
Early seaside links
Room on the Downs
...and on the Clifftops
Early heathland courses
Move onto the Parkland
Early Ryder Cup course
The architects arrive.
Very helpfully he also attaches contact details for all clubs.
I have only skimmed the book but it is replete with many interesting historic photos and is overall a very attractive book with lots of good content.
Forgive me if this book has been discussed before, but i did not see it.
