Golf Is More Than Just A Game Michael Lechtman

This book is filled with insightful golf stories that cover eight decades of a life in golf. In a blend of anecdotes, lessons, and ethos, the author's extraordinary experience is told in a conversational style using the game of golf as the focal point. You will learn everything you ever wanted to know about golf, from casual play on a Sunday afternoon with your family to the art of intricate golf bets and the pitfalls to avoid. From curing putting "yips" to match and medal play tournament strategies, you will find hidden gems in this entertaining story, which makes it seem as if you are living your own life in golf, even if you've never picked up a club. If you are an avid golfer, you will glean valuable insights to get more out of regular play at your club or favorite public course. At the same time, you will know when you have finally found a good group of players to help bring your game to the next level, one you never thought you were capable of reaching. There are some swing mechanics described in the book. These are related gently and anecdotally in this heartwarming story reminiscent of Harvey Penick's Little Red Book. Golf Is More Than Just A Game is not only about golf. Told in the unique creative non-fiction genre, it is about love for family and friends who are all brought closer by the game of golf. Golf has the power to do this, unlike any other sport, because it truly is more than just a game, as Michael Lechtman brilliantly shows us in this superbly written book.
