The resulting book chronicles many of the golf trips to Augusta, to Ireland, Seminole, Pine Valley et al, always with valued customers. Many golf trips were taken in corporate airplanes, each trip generating many of the funny stories that would come up during the course of a business related trip. But, as Thiesfeldt began to put those memorable events together, he began to notice that the individual game was becoming almost prohibitively expensive in terms of initiation fees, assessments, caddy and greens fees. Thus, the second half of the book deals with a future for the game that might require a major shift in where the game is played and who plays it.
The book will be available for the Christmas season and will make an excellent gift for those that are closest to the game.
