Description
Dream Golf: The Making of Bandon Dunes, Revised and Expanded by Stephen Goodwin The story of Bandon Dunes, one of America's premier golfing destinations, is a testament to the power of passion and vision. Golf enthusiast Mike Keiser's dream of building a British-style "links" course on Oregon's rugged coast became a reality, thanks to his dedication and perseverance. In this updated and expanded edition, golf writer Stephen Goodwin delves into the making of Bandon Dunes and introduces readers to Keiser's latest effort, Old Macdonald, a course that embodies a return to the game's origins. Keiser's journey is a fascinating account of how he turned his passion into a reality, and Goodwin's writing brings the story to life. The book also explores the influence of Charles Blair Macdonald, the father of American golf course architecture, and the design of the new course, Old Macdonald, which promises to further enhance Bandon Dunes' reputation as a place where golf truly captures the essence of the game. With its unique blend of golf, history, and architecture, Dream Golf is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the world of golf and the people who shape it.
