Just a quick note to let those of you in the blogosphere know that I am extremely honored to have learned that my latest book, titled Pete Dye–Golf Courses, was named as the Book of the Year by the International Network of Golf at last week’s PGA Show in Orlando.

The award is a lovely piece of engraved crystal, and looks good on the mantle, but the bric-a-brac factor is far overshadowed by the recognition of my peers in the golf business. Writing the Dye Book was a serious undertaking, and I speak for the entire Dye Family when I say that the award is something we are all very proud of.

Anyone who wants signed copies of same, including a very limited number of copies signed by Pete Dye himself, should contact me via email at: info@vagabondgolfer.com
