PuttView Books Partners with Chicago District Golf Association to Produce Land of Lincoln’s Dream 18 Yardage Book and Greens Guide


(WILMINGTON, DE)
— PuttView Books has teamed with the Chicago District Golf Association to produce a special commemorative yardage book and greens guide highlighting Illinois’ Dream 18 holes.

The CDGA asked area golfers to vote on the state’s best 18 holes and after tabulating the results, PuttView, maker of golf’s premier yardage books and greens guides, created a special commemorative book. “The Book” allows players to study and enjoy the nuances of their favorite holes with a guide that is accurate down to the centimeter.

“Working with the Chicago District Golf Association on this project was a pleasure,” said Dave Macpherson, PuttView’s director of sales and marketing. “Chicago and Illinois are home to some of America’s premier golf courses, and this is a unique way to showcase the best of the best.”

After a vote of CDGA members, here is Illinois’ Dream 18:
