Mike Keiser is the best thing to happen to golf since the Big Bertha. Hes the guy who single-handedly saved us from the Fake 100-foot Waterfall Era. He gave us back nature, walking and buddy trips. This is a fascinating read on how in the world he did it.Rick Reilly, golf writer
An avid golfer with a demanding career in the greeting card business, Mike Keiser found a new calling on the authentic links courses of Scotland and Ireland. Seized by the beauty of 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 the States, Keiser entered the golf business and, ignoring the advice of experts, built a true links course in Oregon. Bandon Dunes has redefined the game here and become a destination for golfers everywhere.
Those same convictions have now produced other top-ranked courses by Keiserin Wisconsin, Nova Scotia, Tasmania, and elsewherewhose magical allure demonstrates what the worlds most gifted golf course architects can accomplish by working on designs that hew to the natural landscape. Keisers further commitmentsto the caddies, greens crews, and staff at his resorts; to the communities in which theyre located; and to deep environmental stewardshipenhance the singular appeal of these immensely popular courses.
At once an account of inventing a new, life-changing business, a guide to historic course design, and a paean to the sport that has recently experienced a surge of growth, The Nature of the Game is essential reading for every golfer.
