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.
