Martin and Sarah Brock are a couple defined as much by their love of golf as by their love for each other. What began as a shared hobby has grown into a lifelong pursuit, woven into their travels, and the way they see the world. Whether they are walking the fairways of a championship course or discovering a quiet, lesser-known gem, golf is the lens through which they experience new places and people. Their journeys have taken them across the United States — a country whose golf landscapes they return to again and again — but their curiosity extends far beyond. From desert courses in the Middle East to coastal layouts in Europe. Together, Martin and Sarah bring a warm, honest perspective to their travels: two golfers, exploring the world one course at a time.
