Frustrated, confused and lost at heart, Billy finally sets foot on the one elite golf course he has not yet visited - the gorgeous, lonely Prairie Dunes in the middle of Kansas. Tom Watson once said about the course, "It's a little bit of Scotland in the land of Oz...Like Scotland, the wind usually blows." On this impressive golf course, struggling against the land't natural challenges and his own billowing questions about life, Billy may just find, among this great inland links on this cold windy autumn day, the answers that have been eluding him. With God walking with Billy hole by hole, this day perhaps he will finally reconcile his past and find a life worth really living.

With scorecards, maps, color photos, and helpful hints for most holes, this guide is an essential reference tool for the traveling golfer. It tells the history of the courses it covers and provides information on the designers who built them and the pros who have set their records.

From the deceptive lengths to the treacherous traps, his visual log of the courses prepares golfers for the beauty and challenges that await them. His award-winning and world-renowned pictures have appeared in golf journals on both sides of the Atlantic and in several exhibitions.
