Preferred Lies: A Journey to the Heart of Golf by Andrew Greig

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD

'A wonderful and wise book, quite unlike any golfing book you will have ever read before'
Irish Times

Inspired to pick up his long-abandoned golf clubs after a serious illness, Andrew Greig travelled to eighteen courses on his road to recovery. From the wild, sheep-tended links of Orkney and Iona, to industrial Bathgate and to the more celebrated fairways of Scotland's great links courses, it was his journey towards re-connection with being alive.

Preferred Lies is the story of one man's connection with the ancient game, and of his relationship with the people he has met and golfed with over the years. It is a book of reflections, not only on the pleasures of the game and the commune with nature, but also on friendship, family and ghosts from the past.

'Sculpted in luminous prose, which echoes Greig's work as one of Scotland's leading poets and novelists, this is a beautiful, affecting piece of work'
Scotsman
