Summary: The game of golf is a metaphor for the spiritual life
Review: 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.
