5 out of 5 stars The game of golf is a metaphor for the spiritual life   July 20, 1999
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Mike Linder was an English teacher and is now a Catholic priest, but he has been an avid, mostly average golfer his whole life. As such, he has taken the game on his spiritual journey. Having been a student of the game and a fan since he was a kid, his insights about balancing mental, physical and emotional sides; control versus letting go; and taking responsibility are truly universal. This is an excellent read for the avid golfer, as well as the novice more interested in the real lessons of this most complicated and frustrating of games.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent book on golf as it applies to life.   July 2, 1999

Finally a book written by a nonprofessional golfer what it is really like to play golf.Great insights into the golfing mentality. I think we have all been where the author has been at one time or another. Good strategies of changing the way to golf as well as to live life.
