Exploring every links course in Great Britain.
Architect, author, photographer and – above all – golf course enthusiast Sam Cooper has turned his travels around the coast of Great Britain into a stunning series of journals.
Together with his wife, Harriet, they made the decision to take their lives in a completely different direction. Specifically, they bought a camper van and set off with their two dogs on a golfing odyssey based on Sam’s obsessive quest to play every links course – and nothing but links courses – in Great Britain.
Sam’s blog and social media channels struck a chord with all true golfers who have dreamed of doing something similar.
Now, Links From The Road will chart Sam’s travels for posterity in the form of a series of 18 volumes that cover every one of the 225 links courses that he has encountered.
