Not that Joel's book about Pete Dye's career needed any additional validation, but I recently learned that this book won ING Book of the year honors.

A big congrats to GCA's own Joel on a job well done for all the countless hours in putting this together and doing a fine job to boot!  :)

Thank you Kalen---very kind of you to mention.

All the Dyes are very pleased with this award, as of course am I.  I have some very special, limited-edition Pete Dye--signed books I am going to release in celebration of the award...as one might imagine, there are very few of these to be had.

Anyone who's interested in obtaining this rare collector's item, please shoot me an email at info@vagabondgolfer.com

Thank you--

Thanks Ed--The fact is that I've only run into Pete just recently..was with him in Ft Lauderdale about 10 days ago, and at a PGA Show event the other day near Orlando, and got him to sign a handful of copies each time...when GCA-types were ordering personally inscribed copies from me back in the fall, I didn't have a single book of this nature available.

Joel,
   If you have a copy that Pete signed available I would love to purchase it. Thanks.

Ed---I do have a very small quantity of Pete Dye--signed books.  I'll shoot you an email with the details.

As I said the other day on this thread, anyone who wants to get this limited edition collector's item for themselves, or for the Dye fan in their life, send me an email at info@vagabondgolfer.com and I'll fill you in.

Thanks!
