Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mystery of Golf
Golf is a peculiar game a very peculiar game. To the onlooker, no doubt, it seems to be one of the silliest and stupidest of games. To the player, golf seems to contain within itself the quintessential attribute of all games; so much so, indeed, that the golfer thinks that he who would or could wholly explain the inner and hidden nature of golf would explain the inner and hidden nature of all games.

The Mystery of Golf (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the multifaceted appeal of the game of golf. The author argues that golf is unique among games for its psychological complexity. Unlike other sports, where the focus is on defeating an opponent, in golf, the challenge lies in overcoming the obstacles presented by the course and one's own mind. Drawing on psychological research and his own experience as a golfer, the author examines the psychological factors that can influence performance, including attention, self-confidence, and the ability to remain composed under pressure. The book also explores the social and emotional dimensions of the game, and the ways in which it can reflect and shape character. Ultimately, the author argues that golf is more than just a game; it is a microcosm of life itself, offering valuable lessons about the importance of focus, perseverance, and self-awareness.
