Book excerpt: "Mike Keiser followed his instincts to build courses that speak to golf as a rugged adventure. Steve Goodwin's spirited book will speak to the golfing soul in you." —Lorne Rubenstein, columnist for The Globe and Mail (Canada) and author of A Season in Dornoch On a wild, windblown bluff high above the Pacific sits one of America’s premier golfing destinations, Bandon Dunes. Golf enthusiast Mike Keiser had the dream of building this British-style "links" course on a stretch of Oregon's rugged coast, and Dream Golf is the first all-inclusive account of how he turned his passion into a reality. Now, in this updated and expanded edition, golf writer Stephen Goodwin revisits Bandon Dunes and introduces readers to Keiser's latest effort there, a new course named Old Macdonald that will present golfers with a more rugged, untamed version of the game. This "new" approach to the sport is, in fact, a return to the game's origins, with a very deep bow to Charles Blair Macdonald (1856 –1939), the father of American golf course architecture and one of the founders of the U.S. Golf Association. This highly anticipated fourth course, designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Doak along with Jim Urbina — as detailed in Dream Golf — will further enhance Bandon Dunes' reputation as a place where golf really does seem to capture the ancient magic of the game.

Download or read book Dream Golf written by Stephen Goodwin and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A fascinating study of Keiser's evolution as a golf entrepreneur...Any golfer interested in how things work will find it a worthy read. This, one suspects, is how the West was truly won."---Travel & Leisure Golf "This is much more than a golf book; it's the story of one man's unshakable vision and the extraordinary people who helped him bring it to life."---George Peper, former editor in chief, Golf Magazine "What a pleasure when a good story lands in the hands of a good storyteller...Goodwin does a wonderful job of conveying the modern golf world through Keiser's unique set of values."---Golfweek "Dream Golf will appeal to golfers and lovers of golf history on multiple levels: as a crash course in golf-course architecture; as an insider's look at how golf holes are designed and constructed; and as a surprisingly inspirational account of how a golf course built the old-fashioned way can inspire a `sense of the sublime' in all who tread its fairways...[A] very special book."---Booklist "This is a story about a modern day miracle worker...Tells the incredible story behind the creation of these marvelous courses on the coast of Oregon...Author Goodwin [is] a literary man who knows how to tell stories with details that hold your attention...Go buy the book---it will make you go to Bandon for sure."---Golf Today "The story line behind Bandon Dunes sounds a little too perfect, as if it were scripted as a marketing ploy. In fact, it was the opposite, just a guy building the kind of golf course he himself would want to play---and tapping into something smart."---The Wall Street Journal This Is The Story of a man with a dream---as well as the vision and passion to make it come true. The dream was to build a great American links course, one that would contain all the excitement of the famous golfing destinations in Scotland and Ireland, storied places like St. Andrews and Ballybunion. The man was Mike Keiser, an entrepreneur and amateur golf enthusiast, founder of the successful company Recycled Paper Greetings, and Dream Golf is the story of how, with the help of some of the most colorful---and occasionally controversial---men in golf, he transformed a remote area on Oregon's Pacific coast into not one but four of the most stunning, challenging, and highly ranked courses in the world. These courses---Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, and the newly opened Old Macdonald---are the antithesis of most modern American golf courses, where the features have been shaped by bulldozers and all too often look sleek, manicured, and artificial. All the holes at the Bandon complex have evolved naturally and are molded to fit the rugged, heaving coastal terrain, creating courses that provide much the same experience as playing the legendary "links" courses of the British Isles. With all three courses ranked in the Top 100 in the country by Golfweek, Golf Digest, and Golf Magazine, the courses at Bandon provide a "pure" golf experience, pitting the golfer against the elements, allowing the land to dictate the course, making players feel engaged with both nature and the game. When Bandon Trails, the third course in the complex, opened, Golf Odyssey magazine proclaimed, "Bandon Trails cements Bandon Dunes' position as the single best place to play golf in the world." Now with the opening of a fourth course, this one named Old Macdonald in honor of Charles Blair Macdonald, the father of American golf course architecture and the founder of the United States Golf Association, golfers will have an opportunity to experience an even more rugged, untamed version of the game. In this revised and expanded edition, Stephen Goodwin recounts the arduous task involved in creating this monumental new course, designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Doak. Featuring the classic principles and strategies that Macdonald incorporated into his own courses, Doak has shaped eighteen holes that pay tribute to the legendary Macdonald while offering a totally new and exciting experience. Dream Golf provides a gripping account of how one man thoroughly transformed his dream into reality and celebrates the imagination and daring that went into shaping one of America's most outstanding golf resorts.

Download or read book Sand and Golf written by George Waters and published by Goff Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sand and Golf: How Terrain Shapes the Game explores what makes golf, and golf course architecture, so special on sandy terrain. Golf was born on sandy ground and the features of the game are a direct product of that terrain. Fairways and greens were derived from the naturally occurring areas of short grass found among the coastal dunes of Scotland. The original sand traps were areas of bare sand that can be found scattered throughout any dune landscape. As the game spread beyond the coastal dunes it took these features with it, and while they have been incorporated into a variety of landscapes they have always fit best on sandy ground. For this reason each major expansion in golf has begun with new courses on sandy ground. Even the best courses of the modern era are products of sandy terrain. The reason golf works so well on sandy ground is that it quite literally belongs there. This book explores the unique features of sandy ground that make it so suitable for golf, studying the similarities and differences among sandy courses in a wide variety of environments. The courses of Melbourne's Sandbelt may not bear much resemblance to the fantastic sandy courses of America's Great Plains, but they actually have a great deal in common. The firm turf that is a product of free draining soils, rugged bunkers carved directly into the sandy soils, and a style of play suited to firm, often windy sites. Golf on sandy sites is a game played as much along the ground as through the air, and creative shotmaking is required to deal with the challenges of sandy terrain. The creativity required to succeed when golfing on sandy ground is a big part of the enduring popularity of these courses and the reason why people travel around the world to seek them out. Golf on sandy terrain is something special because golf itself is a product of that terrain. Sand and Golf looks at all aspects of the relationship between sand and golf, from golf's earliest days to the spread of the sport across the globe. Golf and golf course architecture on sandy sites is explored in every detail, using examples and illustrations from the best sandy courses in the world.FEATURED GOLF COURSES: United States of America 1.
