The world of golf is at a crossroads. As technological innovations
displace traditional philosophies, the golfing community has
splintered into two deeply combative factions: the old-school
teachers and players who believe in feel, artistry, and
imagination, and the technical-minded who want to remake the game
around data-attack angles, spin rotation, ball speed, and more. In
Golf's Holy War, Brett Cyrgalis takes readers inside the heated
clash playing out from weekend hackers to Tiger Woods. From
historic St. Andrews to manicured Augusta, experimental communes in
California to corporatized conferences in Orlando, from William
James to Ben Hogan to theoretical physics, the factions of the
spiritual and technical push to redefine the boundaries of the
game. Golf's Holy War is also a story about modern life and how we
are torn between resisting and embracing the changes brought about
by the advancements of science and technology.
