So many more lost golf courses, so many more stories to tell.
So why not? I decided to tell a few more, with quotes like this, one of many regarding a colorful gentleman who put up a nine-hole course, designed by a Minnesota Golf Hall of Famer, on his ranch-slash-farm-slash-racecourse in Pine County:
“He drove a 16- cylinder Cadillac … big as a railroad train.”
My second lost-course book, “More! Gone. Minnesota’s Lost Golf Courses, Part II,” is finished and on its way to Amazon’s website via its KDP publishing platform. (If you’re interested in self-publishing, KDP is a great venue for it.)
I’m expecting Amazon to activate a link to “More! Gone.” by the end of the weekend, or maybe earlier. I’ll publish that link here as soon as it’s available.
UPDATE, July 16: The book is now available for ordering on Amazon. Here is the link:
