Fried Egg Golf Book Club: The Links by Robert Hunter
Schedule and updates for our first reading
Welcome to the Fried Egg Golf Book Club!
For our first reading in the FEGC App, Garrett Morrison is revisiting Robert Hunter's 1926 book, “The Links.” This is a well-written, entertaining, fairly short overview of the key principles of Golden Age golf architecture. And it's cheap!
Each Thursday, Garrett will post some thoughts in the app and generate a discussion on a particular set of chapters. At the end, on November 12, Bob Crosby and Stephen Proctor will join Garrett on the Designing Golf podcast to talk about Hunter and the book as a whole.
Follow along with Garrett’s updates below (linked by date), or search the directory section of the app for the "Book Club" group. Happy reading and we’ll see you in the club! App available on Android and iOS.
