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.
