"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.

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.

Essential reading for every golfer from the sport’s most acclaimed course developer—a comprehensive, firsthand account of restoring the inherent satisfactions of this centuries-old game, from the beauty of natural courses to the joys of walking the course “Mike Keiser is the best thing to happen to golf since the Big Bertha. He’s the guy who single-handedly saved us from the Fake 100-foot Waterfall Era. He gave us back nature, walking and buddy trips. This is a fascinating read on how in the world he did it.”—Rick Reilly, golf writer An avid golfer with a demanding career in the greeting card business, Mike Keiser found a new calling on the authentic links courses of Scotland and Ireland. Seized by the beauty of the landscape and the holes running through it, he determined this was how golf was meant to be: inclusive, not private; played on foot, not riding a cart; the courses natural, neither lavish nor contrived. Vowing to transplant this experience to the States, Keiser entered the golf business and, ignoring the advice of experts, built a true links course in Oregon. Bandon Dunes has redefined the game here and become a destination for golfers everywhere. Those same convictions have now produced other top-ranked courses by Keiser—in Wisconsin, Nova Scotia, Tasmania, and elsewhere—whose magical allure demonstrates what the world’s most gifted golf course architects can accomplish by working on designs that hew to the natural landscape. Keiser’s further commitments—to the caddies, greens crews, and staff at his resorts; to the communities in which they’re located; and to deep environmental stewardship—enhance the singular appeal of these immensely popular courses. At once an account of inventing a new, life-changing business, a guide to historic course design, and a paean to the sport that has recently experienced a surge of growth, The Nature of the Game is essential reading for every golfer.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1985, Mike Keiser acquired sixty acres of wooded sand dunes in New Buffalo, Michigan. He was able to pay cash for the land, and he and his wife, Lindy, co-founded Recycled Paper Greetings, which generated annual sales of roughly $100 million. #2 Mike Keiser, a lifelong golfer, was also an armchair golf course architect. He knew he’d never be a scratch golfer, but his score wasn’t the measure of his satisfaction in the game. He spent hours cutting brush on his family’s property, ridding it of the grapevines that grew luxuriantly. #3 Mike’s program called for oceans, waterfalls, and breath-taking beauty. It contemplated the appropriation of a small town. It discussed sums of money that were significant, especially when the money would be coming straight out of Mike’s pocket. It seemed almost to have been written in haste. #4 The author, Howard McKee, was hired to redesign the property in the early 1980s. He became friends with the founder of the Esalen Institute, Michael Murphy, and he believed in synchronicity. He saw meaning and purpose in events that seemed random to others.
