Résumé
Before there was the Open Championship, there was Scotland. THE OPEN: The Making of Golf's First Major is a sweeping historical novel based on the events, people, and cultural forces that shaped Scotland and gave birth to golf's oldest major championship. Long before the first Open Championship was played at Prestwick in 1860, Scotland's story and the story of golf were already becoming intertwined.
Spanning more than fifteen centuries, this epic journey begins in 345 AD with the arrival of Saint Andrew's relics and follows the rise of St Andrews, the Scottish Reformation, the reign of Mary, Queen of Scots, the Jacobite Risings, and the transformation of golf from a local pastime into a national passion. Through the lives of saints, monarchs, reformers, rebels, craftsmen, and golfing pioneers, THE OPEN explores the people and events that shaped both a nation and its game.
The story brings readers into the world of Allan Robertson, the revolutionary gutta-percha ball, the founding of Prestwick Golf Club, and the historic moment when the first Open Championship changed golf forever. Blending documented history with immersive storytelling, THE OPEN reveals the remarkable origins of golf's oldest major through the power of historical fiction. For readers of sweeping historical novels and lovers of golf history alike, THE OPEN offers a unique experience: the history and traditions behind golf's oldest major championship, brought vividly to life.
