Summary of Stephen Goodwin's Dream Golf - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In 1985, Mike Keiser acquired sixty acres of wooded sand dunes in New Buffalo, Michigan. He was able to pay cash for the land, and he and his wife, Lindy, co-founded Recycled Paper Greetings, which generated annual sales of roughly $100 million. #2 Mike Keiser, a lifelong golfer, was also an armchair golf course architect.
He knew he'd never be a scratch golfer, but his score wasn't the measure of his satisfaction in the game. He spent hours cutting brush on his family's property, ridding it of the grapevines that grew luxuriantly. #3 Mike's program called for oceans, waterfalls, and breath-taking beauty. It contemplated the appropriation of a small town. It discussed sums of money that were significant, especially when the money would be coming straight out of Mike's pocket.
It seemed almost to have been written in haste. #4 The author, Howard McKee, was hired to redesign the property in the early 1980s. He became friends with the founder of the Esalen Institute, Michael Murphy, and he believed in synchronicity. He saw meaning and purpose in events that seemed random to others.
