Publishing for the love of golf
Launched in July 2026, Claret Jug Press was created to help authors bring great golf books to life. With few publishers specialising in golf literature, we aim to broaden the range of golf books available to readers around the world.
We offer practical guidance, publishing support and access to a growing network within the global golf community – helping authors get their books discovered, shared and into the hands of golfers everywhere.

The Odyssey of a Golf Champion
by Andrew Thomson
Description: An uplifting and sometimes nail-biting story of a schoolboy amateur golfer who takes on the world’s best players in a series of triumphant and tragic circumstances, set in New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Scotland.
Why Claret Jug Press?
The Claret Jug is one of golf’s most recognisable trophies, awarded to the champion of The Open Championship since 1872. Its distinctive design represents tradition, achievement and the enduring history of the game.
We chose the name Claret Jug Press to reflect those same values. Like the trophy itself, our publishing house celebrates golf’s rich heritage while looking towards its future. We believe the best stories deserve to be preserved, shared and passed down through generations, creating books that capture the character, passion and traditions that make golf such a timeless game.
