Overview
From golf's most acclaimed course developer--a comprehensive, firsthand account of restoring the inherent satisfactions of this centuries-old game. An avid golfer with a demanding career, Mike Keiser found a new calling on the authentic links of Scotland and Ireland. Seized by the beauty of both 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 America, he created Bandon Dunes, a remote course in Oregon that has redefined the game here. Those same convictions have now produced another ten top-ranked courses--in Wisconsin, Nova Scotia, Tasmania, and elsewhere--whose magical allure demonstrates what the world's most gifted golf course architects can accomplish on sandy, seaside terrain. 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 destinations. At once an account of inventing a new, life-changing business, a guide to historic course design, and a paean to the sport, The Nature of the Game is essential reading for golfers everywhere.
