Around the World in 80 Rounds!

In his hilarious one-hour multi-media presentation, discover how golf has traveled the globe as Dave plays courses in every location and every condition, including the driest course in the world in Arica, Chile, the world's highest course in La Paz, Bolivia, and the hottest links on Earth in Alice Springs, smack dab in the middle of the Australian Outback. Wood finds that the ancient game of Scottish shepherds has taken root in the communist lands of Laos, Vietnam, Russia and China, is thriving in the Kingdom of Nepal, and hungers for players in the dusty bush of poverty-stricken Zimbabwe. From the shadow of the Great Pyramids in Egypt to the tropical golf Eden of New Zealand, you'll be in awe of this simple shepherd's game in all its luxury of locations.

 

When you travel with Dave, you'll discover this is one extended golfing vacation that wasn't all tap-in pars and peaches and cream. This great golfing odyssey finds Wood completely lost, hopelessly stranded, suffering horrific bouts of food poisoning and two cases of ghastly altitude sickness, not to mention three cases of the shanks, and enduring no less than threat of death in China. He's booted out of the Ukraine by armed guards in the middle of the night en route to Russia. He's caught in the middle of a nasty civil war in Nepal and violent uprisings in Bolivia. He disobeys U.S. State Department traveler warnings and visits Zimbabwe. He even meets the notorious Carlos Menhem, shady former president of Argentina, after a round in Buenos Aries. One man's search for golf was never this entertaining.
