Lorne Rubenstein

[upbeat music]

Welcome to episode 156 of the Talking Golf History podcast, and our wonderful interview with author Lorne Rubenstein.

Lorne joins us on the show to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his wonderful book, A Season in Dornoch, which celebrates the town and the links course that I just visited for the first time a couple months ago.

We have a wonderful show today where we will gush about golf history, golf links, and the people of Scotland.

Bye-bye.

I hope you've enjoyed having Lorne on the show as much as I did.

25 years ago, Lorne Rubenstein escaped the projects, deadlines, and constant demands of everyday life for a quiet seaside town in the far north of Scotland.

He rented a small space above a bookshop and set out to chronicle the life, history, people, and golf of Dornoch.

Uh, I did, I, you know, this is kind of golf related, but I, I mentioned it on one of our NLU podcasts on one of our Sunday shows, but I don't think you were on it.

I reread A Season in Dornoch by Lorne Rubenstein.

Lovely book.

Uh-

I was on a long flight yesterday, no Wi-Fi, and, uh, it was a daytime flight.

I was trying to stay up, so I read, I read the entirety of Lorne Rubenstein's, uh, A Season in Dornoch yesterday-

D-

... just to kind of get me-
