With ghosts, witches and squabbling clerics, Pilgrims in the Rough is a funny and affectionate portrayal of Michael Tobert's home town. The author has always wanted to write a travel book - but he has done more than that. Combining tourist information with history, humour and anecdote, he has written a book that will appeal to golfer and non golfer, local and visitor, alike.

While Pilgrims in the Rough is more than just a guide to clubs and caddies, it is nonetheless packed with information for the golf enthusiast. It features a detailed map of the course and the low down from a regular St Andrews player on booking times, the clubs and each of the holes on the notorious Old Course. The book also contains an informative guide to the attractions of the town and the best places to stay and to eat out. Michael Tobert's infectious enthusiasm for St. Andrews will even persuade the most jaded golf widow or widower that the town is worth a visit!
