"I enjoyed this immensely. Beautifully written, I was transported back in time and imagined I was on the links playing along with the author."—Iain Mossman, PGA professional "Amid the crisply described and warmly nostalgic anecdotes, a theme emerges: golf courses were different, far richer places in Kilpatrick's father's day than they are today, in our technologically powered age of titanium drivers and automated watering systems."—Bill Ott, Booklist "In only 162 pages author Bill Kilpatrick gives us a well-written look at golf in the post-World I era. . . . I love this book. It's a page-turner."—Bob Spiwak, Cybergolf.com "Brassies, Mashies and Bootleg Scotch by Bill Kilpatrick is a charming account of growing up on golf courses in the 1930s."—Bob Koczur, Golf Today "Brassies, Mashies, and Bootleg Scotch oozes golf nostalgia. . . . An ideal gift for lovers of the ancient game, especially older dads and grandfathers."—Tom Lavoie, Shelf Awareness "This is truly a book that should be in any superintendent's library, as it tells the real story of where we have come from."—Melvin B. Lucas Jr., Golf Course Management
