Bobby’s Open won Golf Book of the Year in the British Sports Book Awards last month and this week it was announced as the overall winner of Times Sports Book of the Year 2013!

Times Sports Book of the Year is a public-voted award – so thank you everybody who voted! 3000 votes were cast and Bobby’s Open took 45% of the total votes.

John Hopkins, former Golf Correspondent of The Times and head of the golf judges, said: “Bobby Jones in golf is a bit like Richard Wagner in music, an heroic figure about whom a great deal has been written down the years. This means that the Jones seam has been well mined. Steven Reid’s trick is to have unearthed some new information which he has leavened with material that was known and presented it all in a thoughtful and thought provoking way.”
