Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Ballybunion vs. Lahinch   August 22, 2008
A fun book, especially if you've played in Ireland. Interesting anecdotes from Tampa to Augusta to Ballybunion, Limerick and Lahinch.
Having played Ballybunion and Lahinch I have a strong opinion on the merits of each, so enjoyed the author's hole by hole comparison.
And I wholeheartedly agree with his conclusion.



5 out of 5 stars Only Golf Spoken Here is definitely about more than golf   May 19, 2001
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Ivan Morris's book, Only Golf Spoken Here, will entertain more than just passionate golfers. It is witty and thoughtful and gives even non-golfers a glimpse into what makes him so passionate about the game. I was charmed and hope to see more from Mr. Morris.


4 out of 5 stars Irish golf from inside a real Irish golf addict.   May 11, 2001
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have played golf in Ireland for sixteen years and many rounds with the author. His passion for golf is overwhelming. He knows the game from every point of view. He will entertain, educate and introduce you to some of the greatest courses in the world. The stories of some of Irelands golfers are the best part for me. They are his own experiences, not second hand. He has the Irish gift with words plus a major in journalism; a father newspaperman who could entertain you for hours with Irish stories and owns and operates a printing company. With that background he can't miss. This is his first book and I can guarentee it's only the begining. It reads easy. Just remember the Irish have the gift of blarney.
