Around the World in 80 Rounds by David Wood
At 47, David Wood sold everything he owned and set out to fulfil every golfer's dream: For one year, he travelled the world (covering 60,000 miles and every continent except Antarctica, by plane, boat, train, motorcycle and rickshaw, to play the game he loves in the most exotic locales, including the world's highest, driest, hottest, coldest, and most remote golf courses, and lived to tell the tale.Along the way, he met a bevy of fascinating characters, including surly cabbies, taxi drivers with a death wish, welcoming golf course managers, threatening kangaroos, and golf pros out for a quick game. David faced dire situations, such as bouts of food poisoning in India and Egypt, altitude sickness in Argentina, getting booted out of the Ukraine by armed guards, and muddling through with limited language skills, but through it all he maintained a sense of humour and of course his passion for golf, which he played every chance he got.| SKU | Unavailable |
