Nothing lasts forever. Missing Links is a testament to how ephemeral even great golf courses designed by master architects can be. It's enough to break a hacker's heart.
In this lovely homage to what once was, Daniel Wexler identifies 47 historically significant pre-World War II courses lost largely to the needs of post-World War II development, and then proceeds to tee up their stories. Some of the courses loom as mythically large as Atlantis--Charles Blair Macdonald's Lido Golf Club on Long Island is still considered one of the most innovative designs ever, and A.W. Tillinghast's Fresh Meadow Country Club not only hosted the first PGA Championship, it boasted Gene Sarazen as head pro. Each of the lost gems is presented with a history filled with anecdotes, a complete diagram of the layout, a scorecard, and as many vintage photos as Wexler could fit. Most intriguing, Wexler also projects how each course might measure up today. Lido, insists Wexler, would still have golf traditionalists salivating--it would be, he surmises, "one of America's best... Every bit as good today as the day it was born." Amazingly, Missing Links evocatively extols dozens more nearly as worthy. --Jeff Silverman
Book Description
Why do a book on courses that dont exist? In the 1920s, Albert Lasker spent nearly $4 million to build Mill Road Farm Golf Club on his ultra-private estate. Ever hear of it? Daniel Wexler has found these courses: The Lido, Timber Point, Bayside Links. These are the incredible stories of Americas Missing Links.

quality effort.......2006-04-01
who knew america lost so many great golf courses until this book came out? the list of architects reads reads like a "who's who" with tillinghast, macdonald, ross, reynor, mackenzie and others losing their works mostly to development and depression. more than 25 in all mostly from new york's long island, chicago and california.
representing the greatest loss was "the lido," a macdonald design on the tip of long island's southside long beach. it was ranked #2 in the world to new jersey's pine valley, with many prominent players and architects ranking it #1 overall in the world. a seaside links cut in hamptons-like dunes with ever-present ocean-winds, and with replicas of many of the world's most famous holes, the reader can't help but dream of going back in time and playing here. the other lost course that will leave you wishing for a time machine is a little further out on long island "Timber Point," from the lesser known architect C.H. Alison. from the images, it looks like a cross between pine valley and cyprus, with it's half in the pine forest, half in the dunes routing.
the writing style is at times choppy and more pictures or illustrations would have been helpful (assuming any more existed), but all in all it's an engaging work that would capture the attention of most golf enthusiasts. it should be a required coffee table book at private clubs. in addition to the history, club members should be weary that their club could fall victim to the "eminent domain" development demands or hard times that claimed so many of these once thought of as "untouchable" masterpieces.
The lost wonders of golf.......2005-10-08
Not far from where I live is a park. It is hilly, has a small river running along one side, pleanty of dips and humps. Gee, I said to myself, this would make a great golf course. When I looked at an aerial photograph of the park, I could see trees which defined what could have been golf holes. Walking along them, I could see there was once what appeared to be a fairly engaging course there.
This was not one of the courses discussed in Missing Links, but it did make me quite curious about the subject. What masterpieces of the architectural greats (Macdonald, Thomas, etc.) have disappeared? What were they like?
Highest on my list of courses I wanted to know about was Lido, CB Macdonald's work that was said to feature a hole drawn up by Alestair Mackenzie for a design contest Macdonald held on a trip to England. Another was Ponoxo, Tillinghast's own playground for creative design.
Of the former, records exist, and it is thoroughly chronicled in Missing Links. This and other courses also feature a small appraisal by the author regarding whether the course would hold up to modern standards, presumably Tour standards. There are period photos as well, which aid the imagination in reconstructing the holes.
The latter, Ponoxo, was never built, despite Tillinghast writing extensively about his plans in his essays. Even here, Missing Links gives some view as to what the project was about, and why it did not take off.
This book is a must for golf historians and architecture fans. I doubt anyone else will get much out of it. However, given that so many classic designs are falling to the hands of modern "reconstruction", this book adds to the record of design concept and strategy which will hopefully not be totally forgotten.
A fascinating and informative tour through time.......2003-10-19
The Missing Links: America's Greatest Lost Golf Courses & Holes by golfing enthusiast and history Daniel Wexler wonderfully showcases grand American golf courses that have two things in common: they were designed by some of the most talented architects in the history of the sport, and they no longer exist in the present day. Resurrecting memories of lost golfing paradises with a profusion of maps, black-and-white photographs, picturesque descriptions and trivia, The Missing Links is a fascinating and informative tour through time and golf courses gone by. Also very highly recommended is Daniel Wexler's superbly illustrated companion volume, Lost Links: Forgotten Treasures Of Golf's Golden Age (Clock Tower Press, 193220203X, $45.00).
A Fascinating Look at the Best Disappearing Links.......2001-06-28
Summary: The enthusiasm for private golf courses is almost as high now as it was when most were established around a hundred years ago in the United States. During the Depression and in the suburban expansions after World War II, many private golf courses either disappeared or were turned into home lots. Mr. Wexler has done an outstanding job of bringing these courses to life, even though we will never see most of these holes in person. The book features 27 of over 100 lost courses that he has found. Among these are courses that hosted the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open. So much for fame!
Review: If you did not know that these courses have ceased to exist in their original form, you would think that existing courses were being described. The 27 featured courses include a visual layout of the course, scorecard, hole-by-hole descriptions, history of its development, photographs of play and holes, a little about the course designer, and an assessment of how the course would be viewed today.
I was particularly impressed to see that many of these courses disappeared in New York State. Imagine having so many scenic spots changed away from golf today. It would never happen. Or at least I hope it wouldn't. What do you think?
Of the courses, I was shocked to learn that 6 or 7 would be in the top 100 in the U.S. today. Even if that is optimistic, it does seem like a shame to lose any great golf tracks.
As a Donald Ross fan, I was astounded to find out that expanding I-95 in New Jersey had helped doom his course, the Englewood Country Club. Even more remarkable was the loss of Pinehurst number four, so close to his masterpiece of Pinehurst number two.
In addition to enjoying this book, golf club members should think about how to provide for the financial security of the courses where they play. After all, many of these are on land that would sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars an acre. What is to stop conversions of more top courses into building lots in the future during times of economic troubles? Certainly, the many clubs that have invested extra millions in clubhouses and courses recently may have made this more likely.
After you finish enjoying this book, think about what else may have disappeared from your community. See if your local historical society has photographic records to help you see those missing parts of history.
Cherish what is fine . . . even when the costs are high!
Great for the golf nut, mediocre for the average man.......2000-10-20
This is an incredibly original and detailed work. Golf historians and enthusiasts will appreciate the detail, but the average sports fan might find it too tedious. But if you are a golfer, Wexner spookily evokes lost courses and estimates how the courses would play today. The book is a bit pricey; yet, that won't matter to the right customer. An excellent book within a narrow frame.

The Illuminated Landscape by Peter Poskas.......2002-09-24
The Illuminated landscape by Peter Poskas is one of the better art publications I've ever purchased. Poskas makes his creative process easily understood by his duscussions on specific works, all of which are beautifly displayed throughtout the book. I read a page every night while viewing each painting, learning values, light, seasons atmospheric changes which he's a master at doing. I purchased the book in 1988 and I am hoping he will publish another one of these great books with more of his great works.

excellent bird photography guide for naturalists.......2000-09-28
Mr. Rokach and Ms. Millman have put together a beautiful book which reflects their love of birds and photography. These are some of the most natural-no rude flash in the eye- and beautifully composed bird photos that I have ever seen. The photos really capture the birds in their elements and in natural activities. At the same time the photos are obviously shot by a very gifted eye. It is a naturalist's bird photography book. The book includes photo tips that cover technical and artistic challenges. I appreciate that the authors have not lost their wonder for these creatures. That is clear in the photos and the commentary.I am a photographer and birder and have been on the look for something like this for a while.
Highly recommended!
Incompetent both as a photographer and birder........1998-07-21
When a book is published with the title "The Field Guide to Photographing Birds," the buyer should reasonably expect the authors to have some degree of competence in both the areas of photography and bird identification. Allen Rokach and Anne Millman, the authors of the Amphoto publication of this title, appear to have little competence in either area, judging from the photos and the captions in the copy of this book that I unfortunately purchased. This is a shame, and is hard to understand given the usual quality of other nature photography books published by Amphoto such as the series of books by John Shaw, Joe McDonald, and the new book by Art Morris (incidentally, also addressing bird photography). There are an overwhelming number of poor photos and mis-identifiactions in this book, making it of little value to anyone wishing to learn more about bird photography. Compared to the excellent "The Art of Bird Photography" by Art Morris, also from Amp! hoto, it has no justification for even being offered for sale. There is no reasonable excuse for anyone to provide incorrect identifications of so many common and easy birds - all correct identification takes in these cases is one of the many good field guides available such as the "Field Guide to the Birds of North America," from the National Geographic Society, or an hour's review of the photos by almost any member of a local Audubon Society chapter. An author of a book addressing bird photography who can't tell a Red-bellied Woodpecker from a Flicker, a Burrowing Owl from a Saw-whet Owl, a Red-shouldered Hawk from a Cooper's Hawk, a duck from a coot, a Snowy Egret from a Great Egret, a yellowlegs from a dowitcher, a Gila Woodpecker from a Flicker, or a Carolina Wren from a chickadee has no business instructing others in a book. The authors are equally ignorant of bird distribution, claiming to have photographed a Great Crested Grebe in Florida, Great Blue Herons i! n the Netherlands, California Quail in Ohio, and Pyrrhuloxi! a in Michigan.

Book Description
Governments have been involved in the exploration, development, production, and abandonment of offshore oil and gas since the early years of the century. With the 1965 discovery of oil and natural gas in the North Sea, both Great Britain and Norway faced the immense challenge of extracting an energy bonanza out of one hundred meters of water and two thousand meters of rock. In this book Brent Nelsen explains the factors behind state involvement in offshore petroleum activities. From his analysis of government workings in Great Britain and Norway he concludes that state intervention is determined by complex interactions among government officials, economic interests, and environmental pressures. Nelsen shows how Britain and Norway have intervened in the offshore oil business: minimal intervention--whereby the state simply distributes offshore territory to private enterprise, and protects workers and the environment; regulatory intervention--in which the state oversees every aspect of petroleum development; and participatory intervention--in which the state actually enters the business as an entrepreneur. Both states used all three types of intervention at different times, and Nelsen explains how their actions varied, and why. He bases his conclusions on evidence gathered from interviews with politicians, ministry officials, corporate executives, and interest group leaders. This book will be of considerable interest to students of European politics, political economy, public policy, and energy politics.
