Played in rotation on eight courses throughout Scotland and England, the Open Championship is the oldest golfing competition in the world. The courses embody tradition that dates back to the very beginning of the game itself.It is still the ambition of most professional golfers to see their name inscribed upon the famous claret jug that bears the name of every winner since Young Tom Morris, the Champion of 1872.Each of the courses is profiled in its own chapter, with the author describing both the history and development of the course itself and the highlights of Open Championships that have been played on its lush greens. New and vintage photographs nostalgically complement the text. Additional courses throughout England and Scotland are profiled. Among these is Prestwick, where the first eleven Opens were played. Other courses that no longer host the Open, but once did, are also featured.ABOUT THE AUTHORKeith Mackie is the author of many previous books, including Golf at St. Andrews, his memorable portrait of the "home of golf," also published by Pelican.

Keith Mackie's ancestors were of the old, established St. Andrews family of clubmakers and professionals. He is the former editor of Golf World in Britain and Europe and the author of The Guiness Book of Golf, Golf: A Way of Life, and The Majors series on British Open Championship courses.
