Golf as Meaningful Play offers a philosophical introduction to golf
as a sporting practice and source of personal meaning. It is
intended both for scholars interested in the philosophy of sport,
and for intellectually curious golfers who seek a better
understanding of the game. This book describes the physical,
emotional, mental, and ethical aspects of the game and how they
influence golf instruction. It looks at golf as play, game, sport,
and spectacle, discusses golf's heroes, communities, and
traditions, and analyzes the role of the virtues in golf, linking
them to self-fulfillment, the ultimate good of golf experience. The
book concludes with discussions of classic works of golf literary
and film art, including Caddyshack, Missing Links, Tin Cup, and
Golf in the Kingdom, which celebrate its follies and glories. The
fact that golf can serve as a playful laboratory to test oneself is
a deep part of the game's attraction. Golf, if played well, conveys
an experience which unites happiness, excellence, and interpersonal
flourishing. This book strives to give an account of golf both as
it is and as it ought to be-how golfers may improve their games and
even themselves, in meaningful play.
