The Best there Ever Was April 18, 2008
I don't know about the rest of you folks, but if this isn't the greatest, most beautiful golf book ever written, then I'd like to know what is.
Just wonderful.
 Tommy's Honor March 1, 2008
Great Little read. The story of Old Tom and Young Tom is quite facinating. The story of how people in Scotland lived in the late 18th century was very interesting.

"Tommy's Honor" is a great read for the golfer or non-golfing history buff. The research is extraordinary and gives the reader an indepth look at this one slice of the pie of a very specific period in the history of golf and those who shaped the game. The book's insights into the game will be of great interest to the golfer. The narrative---Tommy's story is a great story and a great story told extremely well by the author!-- will be interesting to anyone who enjoys historical biography. This is a serious book yet easy to read. The story is one of triumph, wit and tragedy. A good history book will always generate in the reader's mind parallels to contemporary events. "Tommy's Honor" certainly does. I found that the book underscores the pretension and enforcement of class superiority that exists at most golfing clubs still today.....how club patrons perceive, disregard or denigrate the roles of "subservient" club employees while it is these same professional employees and NOT the patrons who in reality maintain and add to the history and integrity and development of the game; unsung heroes. "Tommy's Honor" is an awesome read. It's one of those books added to my bookcase and not passed on to someone else. It's a keeper!

Great human story, about the birthplace of golf and the characters that
shaped golf as we know it. A must read before traveling to Scotland;
great Morris family story and tragedy. Before Palmer, Nicklaus and
Woods; there was Old Tom and Tommy Morris!
Great read!

Having read just about every book on St. Andrews and the Morris family, I can say unequivically that this is the best. It covers the history of the family in wonderful detail (for the first time, Tommy's wife's background is explored) gives much more information on the relationship between Tom Sr. and Alan Robertson and explores unique history of the town itself. If you are a St. Andrews or Morris family enthusiast, this book is a must.
