Golf Psychology Online

My thanks to Richard Monette for sending me his book, The Gift: A Story About Finding a Better Score in Golf and Life and asking that I review it for you here. Were there such a word as “unputdownable” it would surely apply to The Gift. Although a novel The Gift offers insights to the inner game at every turn as we follow businessman Tom Morrison on his quest to discover whether the golfing ghosts of his Grandfather’s clubhouse stories really exist and what part they played in the extraordinary life of Irving Pirsig Jr.

As the story unfolds Richard beautifully weaves the questions and answers that not only supply the narrative between Morrison and Pirsig but apply to us all in golf and in life. Pirsig Jr recounts his journey from non-golfer to championship winner by way of often surreal encounters and events providing much entertainment as well as enlightenment.

A great read, I cannot recommend highly enough.
