{"product_id":"9781956237153","title":"A Season in Dornoch","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe town of Dornoch, Scotland, lies at nearly the same latitude as Juneau, Alaska. Though the town is bit too small and remote to host a British Open, it has hardly diminished Royal Dornoch’             s mystique or renown. In an influential piece for               \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e               in 1964 (and now included in this edition), Herbert Warren Wind wrote, “             It is the most natural course in the world. No golfer has completed his education until he has played and studied Royal Dornoch.”                            \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLorne spent a summer in Dornoch to rediscover the natural charms of the game he loves. But in the Highlands he also found a people shaped by the harshness of the land and the difficulty of drawing a living from it, and still haunted by a historic wrong inflicted on their ancestors nearly two centuries before. Rubenstein met many people of great thoughtfulness and spirit, eager to share their worldviews, their life stories, and a wee dram or two. He came to understand how the game of golf reflects the values, character, and history of the people who brought it into the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA SEASON IN DORNOCH\u003c\/i\u003e               is both the story of one man’             s immersion in the game of golf and an exploration of the world from which it emerged. Part travelogue, part portraiture, part good old-fashioned tale of matches played and friendships made, it takes us on an unforgettable journey to a marvelous, moody, mystical place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Back Nine Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64990548001117,"sku":null,"price":16.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781956237153.jpg?v=1790533640","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/9781956237153","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
