Description
Of Peats and Putts Continental
Having examined the origins of whisky and golf in his native Scotland and followed this up with visiting golf courses and whisky distilleries in England, Wales and Ireland, the author now sets off on an exploration of how they fare on the continent of Europe. This latest odyssey starts in Granada in the south of Spain and ends, some 3,000 miles to the north, on the Lofoten Islands inside the Arctic Circle. With travel much interrupted by the pandemic, he visits an eclectic mix of distilleries and golf courses many of which have been inspired by whisky and golf ’s Scottish roots and meets fellow whisky and golf enthusiasts of different nationalities. As well as marvelling at the diversity of golfing and whisky offerings across the different countries, he continues to develop his ‘golf and whisky as metaphors for life’ hypothesis and concludes positively that they are both topics on which different peoples will seek common ground and friendships while they even offer lessons on how we can all lead better lives in the post-pandemic world.
Of Peats and Putts:
This little book is a personal journey of discovery. As he writes: “Both whisky and golf are more than just a drink and a sport; both can be seen as metaphors for the vagaries of life itself.” Indeed!!
