We even dress the part, wearing knickers or plus fours, dress shirts, a tie, tweed jacket and cap...Well, you get the idea. This new-found interest led me to the story of modern golf's origins in Scotland, beautifully (and poignantly) detailed in "Tommy's Honor". Author Kevin Cook brought 19th Century Scotland alive with his in-depth research and skill portraying the Morris Family of St. Andrews. It's tough to describe a golf match and keep it interesting; Mr. Cook accomplishes this feat 20 times over!Everything pertinent to golf's formative years is included in "Tommy's Honor": Culture and Class Lines; development of balls and clubs; how world-renowned courses evolved from pastures and pathways to the stunning fairways and greens we're familiar with. Best of all, Old Tom Morris and his oldest son, Tom Morris, Junior are presented not as icons, but as real people, albeit superbly talented and visionary ones!My fellow Hickory Golfers and I are really looking forward to the film adaptation of "Tommy's Honor", which will be released next month (April, 2017). If it's half as compelling as this book, it will be a hit! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of honor to go around *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017* Kevin Cook combines strong research and skillful story-telling to produce a wonderful chronicle of the lives of Old Tom Morris and Young Tom Morris. This story will be especially appreciated to those of us who play golf and have visited St. Andrews, but this narrative contains enough depth and drama to interest other readers who appreciate human struggles. Old Tom Morris is acclaimed for being a championship golfer, but winning golf championships is probably not his greatest accomplishment. This book shows that he was also an innovative golf course designer, golf club and golf ball manufacturer, and a loving husband and father.As a 21st century American, I find the barriers that existed between gentlemen and working class people during the lifetime of Tom Morris (1821 – 1908) difficult to understand, but Mr. Cook seems to make this concept mostly comprehensible. He does not rationalize the class distinctions, but he shows how Tom Morris accepted them for what they were and tried to enable himself and his children, particularly Tommy, to rise above them. For himself, he clearly accomplished this. As Mr. Cook points out in his Epilogue, “In the twenty-first century, the symbol of the R&A is not a red-jacketed gentleman or even a full member of the club, but the son of John Morris the weaver.”This is a well-written book, and Mr. Cook strongly supports his theme that Tom Morris Senior spent the last 33 years of his life honoring his son, Tommy Morris Junior. There are only two very minor issues that I can find with this book:(1) On page 110, Mr. Cook points out that Tom Morris’ ban on Sunday golf at St. Andrews is perpetuated today, except when the Open Championship is played at St. Andrews approximately every five years. Mr. Cook is probably aware, but did not consider significant, that the Alfred Dunhill Cup is played at St. Andrews every year and finishes on Sundays. I frequently play golf on Sundays, but I still wonder if the world would be a better place if more golf courses and other venues followed the vision of Tom Morris and were closed on Sundays.(2) The title of this book is absolutely appropriate, but Tom Morris’s life was not just dedicated to honoring his son. His entire 86 years were devoted to honoring the game of golf, the golf course at St. Andrews, and his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Tommys Honor by Kevin Cook *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2008* This book is about Old Tom Morris, considered to be the first Golf Course Superintendent, the builder of St Andrews and the first British Open Champ. It is also about his son Tom who won the British Open 3 consecutive years. If you are into golf course design, building or maintenance this is a must read. If you are into golf history it does not get better than this book. It is a vivid account of countless matches played over the best courses that Scotland has to offer. It also gives you a very in depth view of the peoples lives in the mid to late 1800's and how professional golf came to be. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7246396-tommys-honor-the-story-of-old-tom-morris-and-young](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/7246396-tommys-honor-the-story-of-old-tom-morris-and-young) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-08*
