Steven Reid is a life-long member of Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, which he captained in 1996 and is currently chairman of its Heritage Committee. Steven is also Chief Medical Officer of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews and a member of County Sligo Golf Club at Rosses Point, West of Ireland. His previous book Get to the Point extolled the virtues of the Harry Colt-designed links at Sligo.
Thoughtful and thought-provoking
*The Times*
[Reid] works to examine Jones's complex mind by stitching the
various strands that Jones had to pull together to win his first
Open championship ... the story thrives.
*Jeff Silverman, Sports Illustrated*
The book should be considered as an additional to every golfer's
library.
*John Peter Hagen, author of Play Away Please*
A profound understanding of Jones the man emerges
*Dermot Gilleece, Irish Sunday Independent*
A fabulously researched, in-depth look at Bobby Jones' Open victory
at Royal Lytham in 1926
*Today's Golfer*
Acknowledging that few golfers have had more words written about
them than Jones, [Reid] still manages to turn a number of
fascinating fresh furrows.
