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.

    Author Sam Cooper leaves his van behind and catches a short flight from Liverpool to the Isle of Man. It quickly becomes apparent that both he and host Dan Murphy, editor of NCG Top 100s course rankings, are incredibly fond of this rugged old links that is pretty much surrounded on all four sides by water. Going here is an adventure – and the course has bags of character, appeal and high drama to reward the intrepid traveling golfer.
