OUT OF OFFICE (English Edition)

This book approaches golf not as a competition, but as a cultural phenomenon. At its core are the places, spaces and structures that shape the game: landscapes with their own character, courses defined by architectural logic, and rituals that have evolved over decades. It is aimed at those who do not simply want to learn golf, but to understand it. In carefully curated chapters, the book leads from the origins of the game—at courses such as St Andrews Old Course, Prestwick and Royal Dornoch—through iconic venues like Augusta National and Pinehurst No. 2 to lesser-known favourites cherished by connoisseurs. The perspectives of professional golfers are complemented by insights into golf travel and destinations where the game can be experienced in a particularly meaningful way, as well as chapters on etiquette and the unwritten rules that have always defined golf.
