The Route 66 Golf Trail — officially designated a Centennial project — is the world’s longest golf trail: 66 diverse courses spanning eight states from Illinois to California.

By Jim Stovall
The great English poet John Donne reminded us that no one is an island. We are all interdependent on one another. Even in the most solitary of activities, it takes a team to create success. As you read these words in a newspaper, magazine, or online publication somewhere around the world, there are many people to thank for creating the connection between you and me.
