Paul Zingg was beckoned by the golf courses of Ireland and finds them a magnificent blend of landscape, history, mythology, and mystery. Near Waterville Golf Links, Staigue Fort speaks of early invaders. At Druid's Glen, Wicklow, at the twelfth hole, among a grove of sacred oaks, are the remains of a druid altar. This journey provides a fresh perspective on golf in Ireland and on Ireland. Zingg reports on a number of golf courses all over Ireland, giving detailed accounts about how each course is different.
