Mike Keiser, entrepreneur, amateur golf enthusiast, and founder of the company Recycled Paper Greetings, turned his unlikely dream of creating a British style links course on Oregon's rugged coast into one of America's most extraordinary golf destinations. This book presents an inclusive account of how he translated his passion into a reality.
Mike Keiser, entrepreneur, amateur golf enthusiast, and founder of the successful company Recycled Paper Greetings, turned his unlikely dream of creating a British style links course on Oregon's rugged coast into one of America's most extraordinary golf destinations. Working against the odds, and making decisions that seemed counterintuitive to most outsiders, Keiser surprised the sceptics and charmed the critics with the result of his efforts. When it opened in 1999, Bandon Dunes was instantly acclaimed one of the best courses in the world. This book, written with Keiser's full cooperation, is the first all-inclusive account of how he translated his passion into a reality. It reveals the difficulties he had to overcome, and personalities he encountered - most notably two of golf architecture's most controversial figures, Scotsman David Kidd and American Tom Doak - and the goal he has achieved in creating a true golfing utopia in an astonishingly short period of time on a wild, windblown bluff high above the Pacific.
