English and American opinion of The Links

From the leading English authority
A. MACKENZIE, author of Golf Architecture, and the designer of over five hundred golf courses in the British islands, writes: "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."

From an American champion
WALTER J. TRAVIS writes: "I have read your manuscript with the liveliest interest and pleasure, and I heartily congratulate you on the production of such a fine piece of work, unique of its kind."

THE LINKS
By Robert Hunter

With 49 full-page illustrations and 10 plates of plans and maps

Mr. Hunter has gathered all the undying charm and glory of golf into The Links, something altogether new in books on golf, that communicates everywhere the secret and contagious charm of the game. It explains fully why one course or an individual hole is dramatic and colorful to play, and shows how the insipid and uninspiring may be eliminated or improved. Golf architect and its relation to good play is an important and valuable feature, and The Links will be in that respect indispensable to any one undertaking to construct or change a golf course. But rarely has a book contained so much of general golf wisdom, of its true spirit, so much that will delight every golfer whether his handicap be high or low. The long list of full-page illustrations show unexcelled views of noted holes on English, Scotch, and American courses, and are quite as instructive as the text. Every golfer will find aid and inspiration in the suggestions of Mr. Hunter's book and will be sure to find it a touchstone to greater zest and joy in the game.
