Around the World in 80 Rounds: Chasing a Golf Ball from Tierra del Fuego to the Land of the Midnight Sun

David Wood's Around the World in 80 Rounds is humorous, insightful, inspiring, and laugh out loud funny. Wood ventures from the southernmost tip of South America to the very top of Norway, and everywhere in between. Along the way he plays the world's most extreme golf courses: the northernmost, the southernmost, the highest, the driest, the hottest, and every strange locale he can find. But this isn't just a book about just golf. It's about travel, and risks, and leaving your comfort zone to pursue your dreams.
