To the Linksland

A Golfing Adventure

Michael Bamberger · 1992

A young writer caddies his way across Europe and finds golf worth taking seriously.

Michael Bamberger, then a young sportswriter, quit his job and spent a season caddying his way across Europe, ending on the Scottish links where the game was invented. It is a book about apprenticeship as much as golf, and it is regularly cited by golf writers as the one that showed the subject could carry literary weight.
