The Golf Letters

The Golf Letters is a book that captures the game in all its complexity. In the form of correspondence between two brothers about their mutual passion, the book addresses every dimension of the game, from equipment to course design to swing analysis to metaphysics. With a tone ranging from serious to satirical, the authors agonize over the trauma of shanking, muse on the encroachment of middle age, speculate on the philosophical and religious significance of golf, advise each other on buying clubs, dissect each other's swings, and puzzle together over the mysteries of what surely is humankind's greatest game. The Golf Letters will appeal to anyone who has ever fantasized about new clubs, despaired over an incurable slice, speculated about the game's deeper meaning, or wondered just what it is that keeps drawing us back to the scene of so much frustration. This book is for golfers who love golf but are willing to laugh at it and at themselves.
