FAIRWAYS & FREEWAYS: THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME BEGINS
50 Rounds of Golf, in 50 States, in 50 Days (at the Age of 50)
Boise, ID: Today, Fairways & Freeways officially kicks off the journey to chronicle, and produce a book, from a 50 year old man’s 50 day, 50 state, 50 rounds of golf, road-trip. Crisscrossing the country, communicating in real time via social media and the Fairways & Freeways blog, while playing some of each state’s most interesting/beautiful courses; Soren Jacobsen, and his wife Melanie, will offer a unique multi-media experience as a run up to the book.
The voyage begins April 21st, 2017 in Oregon, culminating June 9th in Hawaii. Advance introductions to the courses are being periodically posted to the Fairways & Freeways blog. Each round will be played first thing in the morning, with the road trip to the next state serving as the afternoon’s agenda. Beyond just golf, as the “Freeways” portion of the title indicates, the local flavor, history, and people of each state will be highlighted; both in real time posts and the book as well.
“It’s been a dream of mine to play golf in all 50 states since I was in my early 20’s. I just wasn’t sure if, at age 50, I’d be physically able to do it.” says Jacobsen. “Now I’m glad I’ve waited, as I not only have a greater curiosity, but also appreciation, for the diversity of the people in this country. I really want this story to reflect that, in addition to the golf adventure.”

I am going to be spending a lot of time on the computer. Between tracking your golfing and darrells fishing…I may need another big screen for the computer room. Your courses so far look so amazing and so interesting.
