Book Description
For over 500 years, golfers have tried to express what makes the game so special. There have been novels, short stories, essays, coffee table photo books and collections of art. But never has there been a book like this. Here, in Golf Poems, is an enchanting collection of poetry that touches on the fundamental feelings, fears, hopes, aspirations and thoughts that every true golfer knows and appreciates. You will be uplifted by The Spirit of Golf; delighted by Up Against A Kid; moved by Guardians of the Game; and you will also travel vicariously to St. Andrews, Pebble Beach and Bandon Dunes to experience what makes those places so special.Golf Poems is meant to be a little book that a golfer can put in his or her pocket and enjoy by the fireside, at the bar in the clubhouse, or while walking down the fairway. With photographs accompanying the verses, the reader will have an experience that lifts the words off the page and provides a fuller, deeper meaning.Golf Poems does not replace other books, but adds to the lore and mystique that is golf itself. It is a wonderful gift for any golfer. Many of these verses - or parts of them - make for memorable toasts wherever golfers gather to celebrate the game they love so much.

The Poetics of Golf
Author: Andy Brumer
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803213654
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Many golfers would agree with Andy Brumer that there is poetry in the game of golf. And Brumer is not the first to insist that there is more to the game than the superstars, swing gurus, and high-tech equipment that dominate talk of the game today. In this series of essays, Brumer, one of the most insightful writers on golf, considers the game from unexpected and often surprising angles. At once contemplative and compelling, The Poetics of Golf explores the links between golf and life by way of art and literature, philosophy and psychology. In portraits of various players?including Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam, and Arnold Palmer, among others?Brumer teases out the truths that their games can tell us, not just about golf, but about character and courage. And he also offers an unconventional yet enlightening look at the intricacies of the golf swing, course architecture, and golfing equipment. Finally, his book reveals to us?in its content and also in its wide-ranging, often lyrical style?that golf is by no means only a game.
