Overview

Rated as a Top 10 Favorite Golf Book by Golf Advisor In June 2010, Paul Laubach made the unfortunate decision to play all of GOLF Magazine's top 100 golf courses available to the public. Spread over 45 months, he managed to complete his goal despite numerous weather, course maintenance and other logistical issues...not to mention his own senior moment. The journey covered 87,814 air miles and another 17,051 by automobile. During the trek he suffered two frozen shoulders, a bad lower back, golfer's elbow (left), tennis elbow (right), three major sunburns, hundreds of mosquito bites, poison oak, plus numerous cuts and bruises chasing errant shots into the woods, desert and other prickly flora. None of this was as painful as the cost associated with losing 117 Pro V1s. A confirmed golf addict and cheapskate, he is now chronicling his adventures for his heirs (who will probably get nothing else, as he wasted the estate on this boondoggle).

Author Information

Paul Laubach is a 50-something obsessive, opinionated and cheap golf addict. He can usually be found strolling the fairways at La Costa Resort and Spa where he plays numerous rounds each year. He cannot reveal how many rounds as he wishes to hide this figure from his employer and wife (just one symptom of the addiction). His index generally falls between 5 and 7, suggesting occasional rounds in the 70's. Mr. Laubach recently completed a 3.5 year chaotic journey to play all of GOLF Magazine's 2010 Top 100 Golf Courses You Can Play. His foibles are chronicled in his book, Confessions of a Golfaholic: A Guide to Playing America's Top 100 Public Golf Courses. He resides in Encinitas, California, with his wife, Pat.
