"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.

This is a story behind how difficult it was to get development approval for the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort concept; what and how the necessary infrastructure was put in place to support the golf activity; what distinguishes this golf resort from other golf resorts, especially community-oriented golf resorts; and how the vision of "Dream Golf" was augmented to include a regional approach to coastal conservation. To turn a vision into a permitted development meant confronting a complex land planning and public review process prescribed by state law. After obtaining an initial development approval, the team proceeded to design and oversee construction of the destination golf resort. Over the years, the resort grew and expanded beyond its original design program. When most of the pieces of the master plan were in place, the owner came up with a surprise. He wasn't finished with his dream: he wanted to build one more golf course--something special--but it wasn't allowed in the master plan. As the story unfolded, resulting changes produced an unforeseen outcome that took the initial dream golf vision beyond the dream.

'Golf appeals to the idiot in us and the child. Just how childlike golf players become is proven by their frequent inability to count past five.' As an earnest golfer for over forty years, John Updike wrote frequently about the game. In Golf Dreams, Updike directs his inimitable style, his humour and shrewd insights towards a sport that, in turns, enthralled and infuriated him. This gathering of his pieces covers everything from the peculiar charms of bad golf and the satisfactions of an essentially losing struggle to the camaraderie of good golf and its own attendant perils. Praise for Golf Dreams: 'John Updike has anatomized the greatness of golf with an eloquence only Wodehouse, in a lighter vein, has matched. It makes for a lyrical book which is also thought-provoking . . . his lowest handicap was 18, but, in this delightful book, he has not dropped a stroke' Max Davidson, Daily Telegraph 'A stylish celebration of golf's propensity to transmogrify perfectly normal people into gibbering wrecks; not just 28-handicap novices but superstars, too' Jeff Randall, Sunday Times 'There's a crafty pastiche of golf coaching manuals . . . and there's a delicious rumination on the dazzling green luxury of televised golf. There are high, arching flights of fancy concerning swing thoughts, the moral aspects of golf, the etiquette of the gimme . . . It is a treat both for Updike fans and for golf nuts' Robert Winder, Independent on Sunday John Updike's first novel, The Poorhouse Fair, was published in 1959. Other novels by Updike include, Marry Me, The Witches of Eastwick, the Rabbit series and Villages. He has also written a number of volumes of short stories such as My Father's Tears and Other Stories and a poetry collection entitled Endpoint and Other Poems. His criticism, essays and other non fiction appeared in magazines such as The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books. He died in January 2009.

Over the last decade and a half, Larry Gavrich has worked with hundreds of couples and individuals searching for their dream homes in golf-centric areas. Most of them opted to buy a home or property inside the gates of a golf community, guaranteeing themselves not only access to a golf course (or two) within walking or golf-cart distance from their houses, but also putting them close to a wide range of other amenities, such as fitness centers, walking trails and swimming pools. A few chose to live in more traditional neighborhoods but a short drive to excellent golf. If you are retired, or near retirement, and have dreamed about a move to a warm climate with plenty of outdoor activities, including golf, what are you waiting for? Glorious Back Nine: How to Find Your Dream Golf Home details a step-by-step approach that starts with a kitchen-table discussion about retirement goals and ends at the front door of your dream home on the course. In between you will learn about how climate and geography affect your ultimate choice; lifestyle options; how to select a qualified real estate buyer's agent; the various types of country club memberships; cost-of-living variables; homeowner association costs; how to plan your inspection visits and the right questions to ask during those visits; and much more. Glorious Back Nine is the only guide of its kind published in the last decade. It will answer many of your questions and, just as important, will arm you with the right ones to ask. The purchase of any home is a huge investment, possibly the biggest of your life, and you want to make sure you have all the information you need before taking the leap. Your retirement is the payoff for a successful career and family life. You should be armed with all the information you need to find your Glorious Back Nine. You will be if you read this book.

In October 2015, the Chinese Communist Party banned its 88 million members from excessive drinking, improper sexual relationships… and holding golf club memberships. But, with “the rich man’s game” about to appear in the Olympics for the first time in 112 years, they also began to spend unprecedented sums on their own national golf team. Through the lives of three men intimately involved in China’s bizarre golf scene, Dan Washburn paints an arresting portrait of a country of contradictions. A villager named Wang sees his life transformed when a top-secret golf resort springs up next to his farm – despite the building of golf courses being illegal. Western executive Martin, whose firm manages the construction of golf courses, is always looking over his shoulder for Beijing’s “golf police”. And for security guard Zhou, making it as a professional golfer could be his way into China’s new middle class. Using the unique lens of The Forbidden Game, Washburn gleans rich insights into the politics and people of one of the most powerful and enigmatic nations on earth.
