Very excited to see Terroir of Golf on Amazon now. This is the First U.S. Edition and it is a magnificent book. But don’t take my word for it. You only have to read a few of the 5-star reviews like the one from Larry Hall that is a “Love Affair with Golf & Wine” or another one from an Amazon Customer that starts out: “A Beautiful and Sumptuous Pairing…Golf and Wine.” Our book distributor is standing by to fulfill the Amazon orders - perfectly wrapped with two layers of protection and shipped by FedEx. @tabadaletravels #golf #golfbook #terroirofgolf #terroirofgolfbook #fivestarreviews #winemaking #golfarchitecture #golftravel #golfarchitects

Ann wrote a fabulous endorsement for Terroir of Golf, however, her own new book - Life on the Green - was recently released and it is a great read. Starting with the Foreword by Jim Nantz, Ann gives us such insight into all the legends of golf that she interviews in great depth. I was delighted to read about Padraig Harrington and learned so much more about him. Same with Amy Alcott and all twelve of the golfers she included in this book. @tabadaletravels @theannliguori #golf #golfbooks #golfliterature @sportsinnerview

It’s incredibly exciting to see the NEW Terroir of Golf book on Amazon! Even more exciting to see 5-star reviews streaming in. The recent one by Larry Hall has me gobsmacked - a word he likes a lot too! He says his impression of Terroir can be summed up in one word: Gobsmacked. @tabadaletravels #golfbook #winebook #golfandwine #amazon #larryhall

It is great to see a reader of Terroir completely captured the essence of the book! This person is obviously both a golfer and very astute wine enthusiast. It is such a joy to learn how people with these dual passions find all kinds of surprising discoveries in Terroir. @tabadaletravels #golfbook #winebook #golf #golfarchitecture #winelover #wineconnoisseur

When you delve into the Terroir of Golf book you will be amazed by the high resolution photography of world class courses like Turnberry, Kingsbarns, Nairn, Machrihanish, Royal Wimbledon, Valderrama and several more! @tabadaletravels #golf #golfbook #coffeetablebooks #golfcourses #turnberry #nairn #machrihanish #valderrama #kingsbarns #golfphotography

Cori Brett is quite a writer herself so she honors me greatly with her words of praise. She has let me know lately that the more she delves into Terroir, she finds herself going deeper…learning new things… making unexpected discoveries! @tabadaletravels #golf #golfbook #golfwriter #golfandwine #golfhistory

A terrific aspect of Terroir of Golf ( now on Amazon!) are all the great golf courses you will and learn about. Many are in Scotland and other parts of Europe. However, there are some spectacular photos of the new Point Hardy golf courses in St Lucia, designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. @tabadaletravels #golf #golfbook #golfandwine #golfcourses #historicgolfcourse #beautifulgolfcourses @cabotsaintlucia #pointhardygolfclub @coorecrenshaw

I was elated when John Steinbreder endorsed Terroir of Golf and I love his quote! I was also elated when John received the First Place award bestowed by the International Network of Golf during the PGA Show. Steinbreder took top honors in the Business Writing Category and Travel Writing Category. @tabadaletravels @intlnetofgolf #johnsteinbreder #golf #golfwriter @pgagolfshows #golfawards #travelwriter

I love the back cover of the Terroir of Golf book almost as much as I love the front cover! And so do the readers and endorsers who who generously gave me a quote dear how much they like the entire book! @tabadaletravels #golf #golfbook #golfandwine

An amazing 10 days began with cold, rainy weather in Orlando for the PGA Show (but we were inside the massive convention center so it didn’t matter too much) — and then hot, tropical weather in Saint Lucia. Quite a contrast! @tabadaletravels @pgagolfshows @cabotsaintlucia @cabot #golf #golftravel #golfindustryshow

Tom Kaufman finishes his drive at Point Hardy hole #17. It’s a very intimidating tee shot! Coore and Crenshaw crafted a magnificent closing stretch on the cliff tops at Point Hardy. @tabadaletravels @cabotsaintlucia @coorecrenshaw #pointhardygolfclub #golf #golfheaven #islandgolf #golfparadise #teeshot #golfswing #exhilerating

I always try to take a photo of the 13th hole , especially when I play a course I have never played before , anywhere in the world. I send it to Debbie Waitkus who was a close friend of Marilynn Smith, one of the 13 original founders of the LPGA. Debbie heads up Golf It Forward, which advances the important goals of the Marilynn Smith Foundation. Among other things, they raise money to award scholarships to young women who did not have access to college in Marilynn’s day. This is the scorecard from Point Hardy on St. Lucia. It is an amazing golf experience. @tabadaletravels @cabotsaintlucia #debbiewaitkus #marilynnsmithfoundation @lpga_tour #golfitforward #golf #lpgafounders #stlucia #islandgolf #golfparadise

This is hole #8 at Point Hardy. I tried to resist taking too many photos of this course, designed by Bill Coore and Bill Crenshaw, but I couldn’t help myself. There are 5 high resolution photographs of Point Hardy in the Terroir of Golf book, but still, I had to take own. @tabadaletravels @cabotstlucia #pointhardygolfclub #stlucia #golf #golfcourse #coorecrenshaw #islandgolf

What a nice way to start a round of golf — with a massage — right up by the practice area at Point Hardy. Cheryl Wilner is getting that chill St Lucia vibe! @tabadaletravels @cabotstlucia #pointhardygolfclub #golf #islandgolf #golfparadise #chillvibes

Kevin and I were joined by friends Tom Kaufman and Cheryl Wilner, who live in Florida. We promised them a spectacular golf experience and we delivered. Or rather, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw delivered. @tabadaletravels @cabotsaintlucia @coorecrenshaw #golf #spectaculargolfcourse #tropics #tropicalparadise

We just arrived at Point Hardy yesterday and dived right into the temporary pro shop. We did not leave empty-handed! The sea turtle logo is coming home on shirts and other items for us and a particular friend who lives at Troon who is a turtle lover. @tabadaletravels @cabotsaintlucia #golf #golfparadise #tropics

This was a great moment when Jan Stephenson signed the Terroir book when we opened it to her profile at the ING awards presentation. Jan was there to present her Jan Stephenson Entrepreneur Award to Tony Leonora, recognizing him for innovative leadership abilities to develop a business idea into a successful venture in the golf industry. @tabadaletravels @janstephensonspirits @tonyleodora @intlnetofgolf @pgagolfshows #golf #golfaward
