The Golf Courses of Vern Morcom - Hardcover

Cumming, Toby: - Toby Cumming came across Morcom design early, joining Anglesea Golf Club as a 13-year-old. He discovered Melbourne's sandbelt while playing for Melbourne High School and Latrobe Golf Club in the early 1990s. Having studied Psychology at La Trobe University, Toby was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship to Cambridge University in the UK. His PhD supervisor's initial suggestion for his thesis title was 'What I did when I wasn't playing golf'. Three years at Cambridge were punctuated by three Varsity Matches against Oxford, starting at Royal Cinque Ports for the Stymies (the University 2nd team), followed by Walton Heath and Rye for the 1st team. Now living back in Melbourne, Toby has spent much of the last four years studying Vern Morcom and travelling south-eastern Australia to play his courses. Toby's research in stroke and dementia has yielded more than 70 scientific publications, but this is his first book.
