John Hopkins, author "If there is one thing I want this book to do it is to convey my enjoyment and pleasure at playing golf in Wales... It is time to spread the word. Shout it from the rooftops. Three years to the Ryder Cup. Wake up to Wales as a golfing destination."

Colin Pressdee, food writer "Good quality food and accommodation is pretty important after a gruelling 18 holes..."

Ian Woosnam, Team Europe Captain, Ryder Cup 2006 "I, in common with so many others, believe that Wales is the undiscovered golfing destination... If this book causes a flurry of enquiries at golf clubs in Wales, then great."

A donation of 40p for each Golf Wales book sold will be made to Tenovus the cancer charity (registered charity number 1054015).
