Michael Bamberger Reflects on To the Linksland


In 1991, Michael Bamberger took a leave of absence from his job at a newspaper to “search for the primal heart of golf.” First he caddied for Peter Teravainen on the European Tour, then he set off on an exploration of the Scottish linksland. The result was the widely loved book To the Linkland, a 30th-anniversary edition of which is now available for pre-order. Michael joins Garrett to discuss the themes of the book, how the golf world has changed in the past three decades, and whether he thinks it would be possible to undertake a similar journey today.
