The United States of Golf

In 2018, I quite my sales job, bought a recreational golf vehicle and travelled around the country playing golf every single day for one year. It was a bold decision that changed the trajectory of my life. The experience was so joyous that 5 years later, I decided to do the entire thing again. For more second trip around America, I set the world record for most different 18 hole golf courses playing during a single year.

The United States of Golf documents my life in golf and these two trips around the country. The stories are plentiful, the golf is abundant and the goodness of the human spirit all shine through in this personal account of golf excess. I invite you to experience the beauty of American golf while experiencing the dramatic highs and the life altering lows on this world record romp across the United States.
