I spent the vast majority of this book wondering if George Peper realized how aloof and pretentious he sounds. It reads like the ramblings of a wealthy man who has little regard or self-awareness for just how lucky and privileged he is. The only saving grace is how he’s able to shine light on St Andrew’s.

As someone lucky enough to have played The Old Course and who is deep in negotiations with his wife to one day spend at least a summer if not a few years living in or near St. Andrews, this book should have been right up my alley. And eventually it got there, talking about the course, the golf, the community and the history.
But far too much of it reads like a wealthy, elite white dude chortling about his crazy connections, lifestyle and privilege with little recognition that he’s doing this. Overall, a good book but it doesn’t really fulfill its promise.
