New Doak book - am I going crazy
« on: June 20, 2021, 08:26:45 AM »
A month or two ago I remember getting an email from Mr Doak’s company about a new book.


I forwarded it to my wife and said “good Father’s Day gift, I own all of his others”.


Today she asked me to resend it. But i can’t find that email and I can’t find anything new on the Renaissance website.


Is there a new book available (I have Getting to 18) ?  Or was a dreaming.


Thank you

There is indeed a book, but we won’t have them from the printer until Friday 25th.  After that they will go out by FedEx in the order received.


We have about 2000 orders so it will take a few days to get them all sent!

Tom,
   Where are you with the final (fourth) volume of the second edition of the Confidential Guide? Eagerly awaiting the completion of the set!

Tim:


I’d like to be done with it, too.  But I would still like to see 40-50 courses on the Continent and in Morocco before I finish, instead of relying on my co-authors’ views, and it’s been impossible to make those trips in the past 18 months.  I hope to get to them this fall and next summer, so the earliest the book will be finished is Christmas 2022.

Ah!  DoakGolf.com vs the Renaissance website. That was my mistake.


Thanks to everyone.

Always appreciate a sanity check that ends with “still sane”.

Nothing beats being there in person. Thanks for the update! The spot on the shelf will stay open.

Tom,

Whilst we’re talking books, has there been any developments either way with the potential reprinting of The Evangelist of Golf which was discussed around this time last year?

No not yet, which is a good thing because my office / warehouse would be overflowing right now had I done it.  We have discussed a reprint in conjunction with Bandon Dunes and with the opening of Lido - that would be fall of 2022 - but it’s not a done deal yet.
