New Book Release – Major Wager: The Pure Round of Golf Jack Challenged Tiger To, by Colin Koenig

Leave a comment

Author Colin Koenig announces the release of his second book, “Major Wager: The Pure Round of Golf Jack Challenged Tiger To” is now available through Amazon.com.

Bridgeport, CT, USA — It’s 1997 and golf legend Jack Nicklaus watched the riveting new star, Tiger Woods, destroy the competition at the Masters. When Woods declares his goal is to beat Nicklaus’ 18 major golf titles, that gets Nicklaus wondering. Does the kid have what it takes?

What if Jack Nicklaus challenged Tiger Woods to a totally private round of golf? Just the two of them?

Following this exciting premise, author Colin Koenig crafted together a fictional match between golf’s greats that carries an 18-hole round of golf through an entire book. Major Wager (The Pure Round of Golf Jack challenged Tiger To) is that tale, and is now available through Amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/Major-Wager-Round-Challenged-Tiger/dp/1518748562/182-6638860-8750045).

Nicklaus wants to play the round at Augusta National, home of The Masters. But can he arrange it? What about keeping a low profile? Would they not use their caddies, and even carry their own golf clubs? And not tell their families? It would be just them—-two men meeting to play a round of golf…but it turns into so much more.

With witty dialogue and vivid imagery, Koenig creates a round of golf that will never be forgotten. Taking into account the age difference and the character of each man, he brings their personalities to life on the course. With human touches: “Tiger took off his cap, which was drenched with sweat. He wanted a new one,” and inside glimpses into their minds: “(Jack) was beginning to feel a bit nervous about what he was going to propose to Tiger, and the fear of rejection was something Jack Nicklaus was unaccustomed to.” The book reads like a Sports Illustrated story.

The story answers questions every golf enthusiast has probably asked:
• What would happen if the two pros golfed one-on-one?
• What would they talk about?
• What’s going on inside their heads as they play?
• Stripped of their entourage and away from the public intrusion of the cameras, can these legends of golf play a round like two normal guys?

A long-time sports enthusiast, Koenig reveals what he thinks the answers to those questions are in a fast-paced narrative that will keep readers turning pages. It’s definitely a match that would have made history, had anyone known about it. One reviewer, Grady Harp, a Top 100 Amazon Reviewer, said this about the book. “Colin supplies a jet-propelled adventure on a golf course that reads so well that it vies with any mystery or thriller on the shelf.”

Major Wager: The Pure Round of Golf Jack Challenged Tiger To (ISBN 978-1518748561, 2015, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. Paperback $9.75, 140 pages. Kindle $6.50. Available on Amazon.)

About Colin Koenig
Colin Koenig was born in Bridgeport, CT. He later spent time in Pennsylvania training Standardbred race horses. Koenig drives a delivery truck which allowed him to conjure up dialogue every time he passed a golf course. This is his second book.

Leave a comment

Music video for “Pearl” to be released on June 13

Los Angeles, CA, June 07, 2016 – Pop singer-songwriter Jonathan Cavier is gearing up for the release of his second solo single “Pearl” on June 17th, 2016. This single will be released along with Cavier’s debut solo album, Premier, which will also be out on June 17th, 2016. On Premier, Cavier blends influences from Duran Duran to David Bowie and Goo Goo Dolls into a sound all on his own.

“Pearl” follows Cavier’s well-received debut single “January.” With his signature mix of atmospheric keyboards and bright acoustic guitars, “Pearl” brings to mind easygoing and carefree summer days spent with someone you love. Filmed in Malibu this spring, the music video for “Pearl” features Cavier and will be released on June 13 in advance of the release date for Premier. Brad Wong, the “Pearl” video’s director and editor is an award-winning music video and short ?lm director who has screened short ?lms at the 66th and 67th Cannes International Film Festivals. Brad also won The Elfenworks Social Justice Category at CMF Hollywood in 2013. Cooper James, director of photography for “Pearl”, is an EMMY award-winning cinematographer and producer.

Cavier’s hook filled pop and folk catches your ear and his easy going delivery makes it all the more appealing for the story he is telling. – Rate the Tracks

The twelve songs on Premier merge Cavier’s varied pop and rock influences from the 80s, 90s and today, resulting in a fresh take on pop music. Extracting elements from a wide range of sounds and unique instruments, Cavier hopes to “transport listeners to colorful three-minute worlds,” through his careful composition and thoughtful lyrics.

About Jonathan Cavier:
Originally from Northern California, Cavier (pronounced “cav-AIR”) has been based in Phoenix, AZ for several years and up until recently was performing as Alan Clark in atmospheric pop duo EyeTalk. Over the course of ten years and five albums, this venture saw Cavier’s music reach audiences as far-flung as Italy, the UK, and Australia. After five albums and hundreds of shows played throughout the US, Jonathan Cavier has reimagined himself and has formed a new musical identity on his debut solo album Premier. In addition to his musical endeavors, Cavier is a semi-professional tennis player and a member of the USTA and IFT. Cavier says that practicing and playing in tournaments is like “the fountain of youth.”
