Golf journalist and author Adams takes a suitably reverent approach to a game that has the power to overtake souls, and offers nine briskly written narratives about how golf is more than a game and even more than a metaphor for life itself. He invokes the names and stories of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Babe Didrickson Zaharius, Sam Snead, Walter Hagan, Bobby Jones and Tiger Woods, showing in each how what should be a relatively uncomplicated game can become as enlightening, messy, inspiring and frustrating as life itself. The result is occasionally heartrending but also positive, and a delight to those of us with the guts to face a tee-time slightly after dawn in the rain, loving every second.
