< Stocking stuffer Chuck Miller, aka
“the Traveling Guy,” has just completed his latest book, “Golfing The U.S.: Reflections On a 50-Week, 50-state Golf Odyssey.” In 1960, while bumming around
Europe for seven months following his graduation from college, Miller caught the travelin’ bug that has never left him. He made a pledge to visit all 50 states and all seven continents ASAP, and by 2008 he had achieved his goal. His latest effort resulted in the golf book, as he began his journey in Arizona, drove 21,502 miles, spent 331 days on the road and played 141 courses. Most amazing stat: He did it all for $13,265!
