As a lifelong New Jersey golfer, I knew our state had an interesting golf history, but the stories came to me inconsistently, over time and from many sources.

Makes me proud to be a New Jersey golfer!

My friend Kevin has taken on the immense challenge of writing about the rich and diverse history of golf in our state. I believe he has done an amazing job of shining the light on so many interesting people, historic places, and special events. Even longtime followers and competitors will say ‘Really? I didn’t know that!’ New Jersey is blessed to be at the epicenter of the game of golf in America. Our role in its birth, growth, and improvement is immeasurable, and I give cheers and thanks to our author for all the hard work he has done on our behalf! Many thanks.

I wanted to let you know that the book was a huge success! I can't even tell you how much my boyfriend loved everything about it. In fact, we were almost late for Christmas dinner because he wanted to check it out and got caught up in the beautiful photos and stories. I think he's mentioned something about it every day since, such as I golfed there; I need to golf here; I know this guy, etc. It is a very high-quality publication and already has prime space on the coffee table, I'm told it will move to the bar for display in the summertime.
