Don' t worry, someone has done it for you, so you don' t have to. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eTHE UNITED STATES OF GOLF\u003c\/i\u003e, Koenig recounts his greatest experiences during his two golf tours across the country in a Recreational Golf Vehicle (RGV). He takes us through his early passion for golf, his struggles with and recovery from alcoholism, and how golf became a catalyst for personal growth. Koenig takes readers into some of the country' s most exclusive and most beautiful golf courses. You' ll meet many great people that he met along the way, and will play with a former PGA Tour pro, a few original golf influencers, two bestselling authors, and a few other famous figures. What emerges are lifelong relationships forged through the game, all while detailing his attempt to set a world record for the most courses played in a year and raising money for the First Tee.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are many ups on the RGV tours, and a couple downs. Scattered among perfect days are the  rounds he played in downpours, snowstorms, and even before an imminent tornado. And both RVs weren' t immune to break downs, air conditioning problems, a busted skylight, and plumbing disasters-- at one point, even the RV' s door flew off. There' s also heartbreak: Patrick talks about how he lost a marriage on the first go-round, but finds his true love in the end. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo buckle up!
