Overview

Framed around Rob Hogan, a golfer from the West of Ireland who discovers an unusual talent for blending running with golf, the book blends documented milestones with a personal journey. Along the way, readers meet a diverse cast—from early enthusiasts to major investors—whose actions helped propel the sport forward. The narrative keeps its feet on the ground, offering a clear chronology while inviting readers to imagine the sport’s evolving potential.

What makes this story stand out is its balance of history, character, and practical curiosity.
