Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A âwinningâ (Parade) and âwell-conceivedâ (The New York Times) account of one teenagerâs solo trek to play golf in each of the lower forty-eight statesââtwo parts coming-of-age story, one part golf travel adventure, and one part survival testâ (Golfweek).
Shortly before his freshman year of college was set to begin, seventeen-year-old Dylan Dethierâhungry for an adventure beyond his small townâdeferred his admission and, âlike Jack Kerouac and Ken Kesey before him, packed his used car and meager life savings and set off to see and write about Americaâ (ABC News/ Yahoo). His goal: play a round of golf in each of the lower forty-eight states.
From a gritty municipal course in Flint, Michigan, to rubbing elbows with Phil Mickelson at Quail Hollow, Dylan would spend a remarkable year exploring the astonishing variety of the nationâs golf coursesâand its people. Over one year, thirty-five thousand miles, and countless nights alone in his dusty Subaru, Dylan showered at truck stops, slept with an ax under his seat, and lost his virginity, traveling âwherever the road took him, with golf as a vehicle for understanding Americaâ (The New York Times). The result is a book that âwould be considered fine work by any writer, let alone one so youngâ (Maine Edge).
