Have you ever wondered why everything in the Universe fits together the way it does? Or why we're the fortunate inheritors of a very rare planetary oasis that has the amazing ability to create, evolve and support lifeforms such as ours? Given that human life only started 200,000 years ago, how have we been able to make such giant strides in our knowledge of actions throughout the Universe from the largest to the smallest scale? Knowledge that has enabled us to put people on the Moon, look inside atoms and given us all the technological goodies that we take for granted. 18 Holes is the amazing story of how we built that knowledge over the last 2,600 years starting with Thales in the Greek City-State of Miletus right up to our current understanding by way of Galileo, Newton, Einstein and many other deep thinkers. Unlike most popular science books. the story's told in a chatty, humorous way during a round of golf by two senior citizens who've been best pals since their first day at primary school. If you're looking for a simple, non-technical insight of how far physics has taken us and why 90% of the physicists who have ever lived are alive today then this is the book for you.

In this love letter to his father, former professional golfer Nathaniel Crosby shares memories of Bing Crosby on the golf course, and the lessons he taught him about the game and about life. With a Foreword by Jack Nicklaus. “Bing Crosby was a great ambassador for our game, as well as a great man,” hails longtime friend and golf partner, Jack Nicklaus. The beloved singer and star was also an extraordinary teacher who instilled an abiding passion and mastery of the game in his youngest son, Nathaniel. Winning the US Amateur at nineteen, Nathaniel went on to compete in high-level professional tournaments for his entire life. In 18 Holes with Bing, Nathaniel introduces us to the Bing Crosby he and his family knew—not the beloved singer who played golf, but a golfer who sang to pay his country club dues. Nathaniel shares exclusive stories about this American icon golfing, working, and playing with some of the most famous people in history—royalty, titans of industry, stars of stage and screen, and champions of the green, including Bob Hope, Dwight Eisenhower, Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus, and Louis Armstrong. At the book’s heart is an intimate account of a father and a son—how a mutual love of golf formed an exceptional emotional bond. Full of anecdotes, vignettes, and recollections of Bing’s time on the course, the tournaments he created and later sponsored, and the constant encouragement he showed his son, 18 Holes with Bing honors this celebrated golfer, entertainer, and father, and illuminates his life as never before.

The final part of the book gives information about getting about, accommodation, and other useful travel information.
