Reseña del libro "The Links (en Inglés)"

A masterpiece of architectural literature, The Links is the first book that fully addresses the complexities of the golf course in terms of design, construction, and definition of the game. Written in 1926, Robert Hunter conceptualized The Links as a complete study, a manual for golf course architects and design enthusiasts, specifically written to advance the field of study in a way that had never been tried before. Although Hunter was not a golf course architect by trade, or even a golfing professional, his background as a dedicated socialist reformer led to his unique understanding of the relationship between golf and its greater contribution to society. The challenges posed by golf, as well as the beauty produced by the singular nature of the world's most famous links, led Hunter to conclude that diversity is what makes golf the cherished game that it is. In The Links, he postulates, "It is not the love of something easy which has drawn men like a magnet for hundreds of years to this royal and ancient pastime; on the contrary, it is the maddening difficulty of it." Supported by over fifty photographs and original drawings, The Links details the essential features of an ideal golf course and provides insight into the strategies and methods used to design the world's most renowned courses. As acclaimed architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie wrote, "I have read The Links with the greatest interest. Mr. Hunter is familiar with all the great courses in the world and he has written a most entertaining book, which I am sure every golfer will read with profit. I do not hesitate to say that it is the classic of the subject."
