Hi Matt, good afternoon.

I'm just past half way in your book...chapter Fun, Erin Hills My wife Karen and I have been reading it at night. We're marveling and getting nice enjoyment from the interesting experiences you shared. Our 32nd wedding anniversary trip took us through Kohler and Sheboygan last August. We had the chance to chip and putt at both courses and stand on #1 black tee at the Straights (which takes many words to properly describe) so the visuals as we're reading are really vivid. Looking forward to the rest of your story!

Warm regards,

Joe Ryan

Great Book for Thoughtful Fathers who love reading about great golf courses

Matt Filner has written a very thoughtful and insightful book weaving his experiences with fatherhood with his very personal and enjoyable golf trips playing some of the best public golf courses in the United States. For a good golfer who is a father, the book is sure to enlighten and entertain.
