When Ben Thapa picked up a golf club for the first time in 1993, he had no idea that he was about to discover a new passion.
Having grown up in Kathmandu, Nepal, where he rode on buses throughout the country from a very young age, Ben always enjoyed traveling and exploring the world. However, with this newfound love of golf, he found himself on a quest unlike any he had ever embarked on before. Fusing his two passions in one extraordinary endeavor, he committed to playing golf in every capital across the United States of America-and on every single continent across the world.
My Golf Journey reflects not only the details and logistics of those travels but also highlights how this journey became much more meaningful through the development of new friendships and new memories. By getting to know a wide range of people through golf, Ben was able to forge a bond with countless individuals across the globe, creating an incredible network of fellow golfers and travelers now all connected through one determined adventurer. He wrote this book to share not only his stories but theirs as well and to describe how that has inspired him to continue this journey for years to come.
From the comfort of your living room couch, you can embark on a worldwide adventure with Ben Thapa, discovering cultural icons in each capital/continent, meeting other delightful golf enthusiasts, and joining in the camaraderie of new friendship. Or, if you’re up to the challenge, you can accompany Ben on his unbelievable quest by pursuing a similar goal yourself!
