Fifty Years in a Bunker by Pat Ruddy exudes the same passion and home-cooking atmosphere created by his world-renowned course, Ireland’s European Club. With humility, grace and insight, he documents his half-century journey to craft this stunning links. He also doesn’t hold back when it comes to his thoughts on the state of the game and course design. All highlighted by his son Gerard’s course images.
