GOLF
Author: JACK THOMSEN; KATHRYN THOMSEN
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 146698032X
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
When learning Thomsen was writing Golf: Find Center, Enter the Circle, many had emphasized the diversity of golf due to its natural setting, and golf’s natural setting was open to amateurs, professionals, and all ages also. Thomsen was quick to agree. “Golf can serve the needs of many. It’s my job to open up to more and increase the standards within the art form—golf.” Thomsen said. Some have asked, “Who do you think will read it, Jack?” “Few,” came the reply. “Golfers mainly, and only the most obsessive of those. There’s no popular market for this book. Materialism is too much in demand, and serving the spirit has become lost in the equation.” That brief exchange reveals an unvarnished truth: golf is essentially caught in a materialistic grasp as an overview of the game, and yet as an art form, independent players function in it. The artist Vincent van Gogh had sold few of his paintings. Someone else had done that. Is the treasure the money or the art? Golf: Find Center, Enter the Circle’s genesis from a personal journal’s beginning had been imbued with a Joycean stream of consciousness that, in its intuitiveness, is likely to engage none but the determined reader. By way of contrast, however, the book’s title forthrightly distills Thomsen’s thesis. Golf, he asserts, can be a spiritual practice when done as an expression of the golfer’s essential self and if engaged in it for the sheer love of golf’s diversity, its wholeness, bringing on its transcendental nature. Accept Thomsen’s invitation. Turn your attention inward, tap into the answers that are there, feel the resultant centering, the balance, and project that centering—enter the circle. “A liberated person possesses perfect senses and with perfect senses only can serve the sense proprietor,” says the Bhagavad Gita.

The Hole Truth
Author: Bill Felber
Publisher: University of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496206541
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Ever wonder whether Tiger Woods in his prime would have beaten Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, or Jack Nicklaus in their primes? And could any of them have beaten Babe Zaharias? Obviously, if Bobby Jones were returned to life and health and then given his old hickory-shafted mashie, persimmon-headed driver, and rubber-core ball in a match against Jordan Spieth, the outcome would be foreordained. But what if the impact of the training, equipment, courses, and traveling conditions could be neutralized in order to create a measurement? Now for the first time, questions are answered about the relative abilities of the greatest players in the history of professional golf. In The Hole Truth Bill Felber provides a relativistic approach for evaluating and comparing the performance of golfers while acknowledging the game’s changing nature. The Hole Truth analyzes the performances of players relative to their peers, creating an index of exceptionality that automatically factors the changing nature of the game through time. That index is based on the standard deviation of the performances of players in golf’s recognized major championships dating back to 1860. More than two hundred players are rated in comparison with one another, more than sixty of them in detail with profiles providing context on their ranking. For the dedicated golf fan, The Hole Truth is an engaging way to see in the numbers where their favorite golfers rank across eras and where current players like Rory McIlroy and Inbee Park compare to the game’s greats.
