The Seventh at St. Andrews:
How Scotsman David McLay Kidd and his Ragtag Band Built the First New Course on Golf's Holy Soil in Nearly a Century

by Scott Gummer
Gotham Press
The title pretty much says it all, but the rich detail between the covers makes this book an immensely satisfying read. Gummer, a wonderfully vibrant golf travel writer, delves deeply into St. Andrews, the Cradle of Golf, but the meat of the text is devoted to the architect and to the nuts and bolts of getting a golf course built.
