⓶ Golf to Read

In 2023, Patrick Koenig played an unbelievable amount of golf. Traveling the country in his custom Recreational Golf Vehicle, he teed it up at 580 courses in just 365 days—a journey as wild as it sounds.

We were lucky to have Patrick join us on The Hole Story Podcast mid-adventure to share what the ride had been like so far. And later, I even got to tee it up with him when he made a stop at Landmand!

Now, you can dive deeper into his story. Patrick’s new book, The United States of Golf: A Journey of Love and Loss, Finding Purpose, & Setting a World Record, is available for pre-order—packed with incredible stories from the road and his signature photography.

⓷ Golf to Play

“The most extraordinary par-3 course on Earth!”

If you needed one more reason to plan a golf trip to Big Cedar Lodge, here it is: Cliffhangers. This brand-new par-3 course opens July 4th and was developed by Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris and his son, John Paul. You can expect pristine conditions and jaw-dropping views.

According to the course website, “Cliffhangers dangles on a steep hillside adjacent to Payne’s Valley, with 18 holes ranging from 60 to 165 yards.”

Sounds like the perfect excuse for us to plan a Good Company trip to Big Cedar Lodge!
