A journey to every links course in great britain
Back in 2020, nothing felt like a bad idea. In fact, it felt rather a good idea to go on an adventure.
Over two years, architect, author, photographer and – above all – golf course enthusiast Sam Cooper and his wife, Harriet, packed two cocker spaniels, and enough golf clothes for all seasons, into a hastily purchased camper van.
The journey spanned 225 links golf courses across Great Britain, now turned his travels around the coast of Great Britain into a stunning series of journals.
Over 18 volumes, the Links from the Road series will document Sam's journey and love for links golf through photographs, illustrations, essays and memories from this experience.
Volume 1
My golf started at Hoylake, so it is only right this series should start there too. As well as other big names (Wallasey, Royal Birkdale, Formby, Hillside), I look at Formby Ladies, Hesketh and West Lancs.
With memories from living in a van, musings on what links golf actually is, and essays, photographs and beautiful illustrations (by Will Eagar) on these wonderful links courses, Volume 1 is my ode to the links of home.
