    From the Desk of the How-To Junkie for the Adventure Junkie:
    
    Howdy friend, who wants to be adventurous, get rid of boredom, and make life interesting?
    
    Life must really suck for you if you're reading this - and I don't mean that in any disrespectful or rude way. I'm simply saying your life is probably not as exciting or interesting as you would like it to be, right?
    
    Do you find your dreaded days never-ending but filled with work, everyday? Are you bored by monotony? Are you seeking more thrill, fun, and excitement?
    
    Now do you ever wish your life was like one big action movie, running around tirelessly, going on secret missions, chasing bad guys, or recovering stolen valuables? OK, that's a little far-fetched. However, the next best thing you can do is have more adventures in your life!
    
    Unlike what you see on TV, an adventure can range from doing something unexpected, experiencing something never done before, or exploring anything new, and even bringing people along for the ride!
    
    By adopting an adventurous streak, you can inject more spice into your life and revitalize your whole being, to make life more interesting and worthwhile again.
    
    By being an Adventure Junkie you will know:
    
    How having more adventures is necessary for staying healthy with science to back it up.
    How to be a dynamic maverick with an enterprising spirit, to achieve all of your dreams.
    How to be a worldly performing artist to those around you and get others involved.
    How to be excited by life like an explorer, always eager to see what's on the other side.
    How to capture an adventurous spirit and cultivate that inner-adventurer side of you.
    And much more.
    Could you use that jump-start now to get your life going again? Then off the couch and do so! Don't be a square regretting what you could have done. Be fun and adventurous now!
    
    Signing off. Your friend,

    A stunning, in-depth guide to fifty more of the world’s greatest golf courses, selected by people deeply connected to the sport. With this follow-up to his bestselling Fifty Places to Play Golf Before You Die, Chris Santella interviews fifty luminaries in the golf world to uncover some of the sport’s hidden gems. Golf industry insiders—from seasoned touring professionals (Amy Alcott, Fred Funk) to journalists and photographers (James Dodson, Brian Morgan) to golf course architects (Robert von Hagge, Bob Harrison) to travel specialists (Gordon Dalgleish, Mike Lardner)—offer their favorite courses around the world and describe what makes them so spectacular. Their experiences bring the venues to life for both ardent golfers and armchair travelers. The golf courses featured here range from the windswept peninsula of Old Head off the coast of Ireland to the sultry landscape of the recently inaugurated Ho Chi Minh Golf Trail in Vietnam to the privileged putting surfaces of California’s Cypress Point and Maryland’s Congressional Country Club. Along the way, Santella shares vivid descriptions of the courses, funny and touching anecdotes, and enough “If You Go” information for golfers to begin planning that once-in-a-lifetime getaway. The texts are complemented by more than forty vivid photographs that capture the allure of these unforgettable golf destinations.

    Climbs and Ski Runs - Adventures...

    '"Why do you climb?" The mountaineer has no answer to this question. The best things in the world cannot adequately be expressed in speech or print; they are part of the soul.'
    In Climbs and Ski Runs, Frank Smythe takes the reader on Alpine ski trips and Dolomite adventures, up first ascents in North Wales and on to the mighty Brenva Face of Mont Blanc. He places pebbles for runners, 'shoots' crevasses and is struck by lightning. And yet, all the while, he perfectly captures the moments that make climbing and mountaineering so special - moments that will resonate with anybody who has spent time in the hills.
    Frank Smythe was among the leading mountaineers of the early twentieth century and one of the finest climbing writers ever to put pen to paper. In Climbs and Ski Runs he documents his early forays into the mountains, giving a remarkable insight into that period of climbing and mountaineering. Yet it is not this that makes the book special. It is Smythe's ability to observe and recreate his surroundings and to write so compellingly about the climber's response to them, and to the moments of difficulty and danger, that brings Climbs and Ski Runs to life.
