TWO Devon golfers have joined forces to produce a beautiful new book about the golf courses in the county.
“The Golf Courses of Devon; Perspectives from Moor to Shore” has just been published by outstanding landscape photographer Tim Jones and long-time golf industry man Tim Aggett.
Both are low-handicap golfers who play their golf at Warren Golf Club and together for the Devon County Senior side.
Featuring over 100 full colour images of all the courses which fall under the auspices of Devon Golf the book takes you on a tour of the county’s many golf courses explaining how they play, something about their history and about the personalities that have made them what they are.
Tim Aggett said: “Nothing like this has been done for 40 years and with so many newer courses it was time to mark where we now are. And to pay tribute to the many Golden Age course designers who left their mark on Devon”.
Tim Jones added: “We are so fortunate as golfers in Devon to be surrounded by such beauty. The courses are a photographer’s paradise. Working on the book has been quite a journey, I’ve loved every minute.”
Tim added: “As someone engaged in golf around Devon for all of their adult life and in a professional capacity in Club Management for over 20 years before recently retiring this has been a real labour of love. It has been so for both of us; me in writing the text, Tim with his amazing photographs.
In pre-sales and since the book was published we have sold more than 200 copies.”
The book is available direct from the authors through: www.peninsulalandscapes.org and by messaging them through their Instagram (@peninsula_landscapes or @timaggett) or Facebook accounts, via golf professional’s shops and through Abe Books. It will retail for £59.95.
