"Lost Links" is an excellent follow-up to "Missing Links". This book is laid out in a similar format as "Missing Links" but this book covers more courses with less descriptions per each course (in general). I found the descriptions of Augusta National's original design and the description of Royal Palms worth the price of this book by themselves. If you don't have either book, I suggest starting with "Missing Links", which I found slightly more interesting, and then moving on to this one. If you have read "Missing Links" and enjoyed it, I highly recommend purchasing "Lost Links".

Golf Architecture at it's best!!! This book truly reveals some of the lost links of the golden age of golf. Such links as Baldwin Hills Golf Club, California Country Club, and the Glen Oaks Country Club. This book will give you insight into some of the great classic courses.

Written by former golf professional and historian Daniel Wexler, Lost Links: Forgotten Treasures Of Golfs Golden Age offers golfing enthusiasts and sports historians a profile of great golf courses from the years prior to the advent of World War II, -- all of which have since vanished with the relentless changes of time and circumstance. Black-and-white photographs, color diagrams, and informative written tours of grand play areas fill the pages of this golfing memorial and tribute to classic golf courses. Also very highly recommended for nostalgic golf buffs is the impressive companion volume of golfing history by Daniel Wexler, The Missing Links: America's Greatest Lost Golf Courses & Holes (Sleeping Bear Press, 1886947600, $35.00).
