Más información sobre el libro

It has always been a mystery why non-golfers cannot understand what the great attraction of this game is and why so many people try and play a game that cannot be won. In the few pages of this book the author attempts to explain why he continues to return to a game that both frustrates and infuriates one moment and the next, offers a euphoria that results in memories to be cherished for years. The game of golf is made up of assorted sticks and balls, carried or pulled around a course that is somewhere in the neighborhood of three miles long, but is played by people. It is the experiences these people bring to the course that make the game so memorable for everyone that plays the game. People and places make up this great game and it means something different to each individual. This book is an attempt to explain what the game means and has meant to the author.
