About this title

Review

Golfers often need a shot of inspiration to transform an average day on the links into the magic that seems a stroke or two away. This collection of inspiring passages for each day of the year is meant to do just that. Here's the entry for June 23, in part: "Don't just sit there--enter a tournament!... Competition is the best way to judge your skills against those of your peers. Most important, it will improve your game." Or August 19: "Those who say golf requires little physical stamina have obviously never played 18 holes on a hot and humid afternoon in August.... Remember this the next time you are struggling on the backside of a long, long day. You are one stroke away from energy, one stroke away from new life. All you need to do is tap into your latent energy, pop the cork. One stroke will do it. Keep firing away. You can still accomplish great things when you're tired." With sage advice and memorable quotes from the pros, every day in The Golfer's Book of Daily Inspiration offers a new approach to the royal and ancient game.

From the Back Cover

"Competitive golf is played mainly on a five- and-a-half-inch course: the space between your ears."
-- Bobby Jones

Always in search of that definitive tip, that pearl of wisdom, or that quintessential revelation that will bring their game up in quality and down in score, golfers of all levels will welcome The Golfer's Book of Daily Inspiration. Every day brings a new motivational message or instructional insight guaranteed to inspire. Whether it's Jack Nicklaus's "The game of golf is not how many good shots you hit, it's how few bad shots you hit" or Gary Player's "The more I practice, the luckier I get," each quotation is accompanied by Kevin Nelson's perceptive commentary as well as a resolution for the day. From tee to green, January through December, every golfer needs the inspiration, motivation, and revelation that this book provides.
