This is a journey into golf; A story of Andrew’s recovery from his near death experience before setting out on a golfing odyssey which brings him back to himself as a golfer and as a human.
It is beautifully written in that you he makes the courses he plays tangible; smelling the slat water and seaweed, feeling the grass and sand beneath his feet..
We get to follow Andrew across Scotland, meeting old friends and playing courses from his youth, with all the images this conjures up.
Having played North Berwick (one of the courses) with a great bunch of guys I really get where he’s coming from!
I really enjoyed reading this and recommend it to any golfer who thinks golf is just a game of swing and technique
This book has many parallels with what I am doing in that Andrew discovers that golf is a labour of love and that as a game it should simply be played and loved and that, as in life, we should accept what comes along. He is also inspirational in a very human way and whilst we know about the illness he has had, it isn’t the dominant theme, as Andrew’s recovery and new beginnings are all found through the medium of golf and its surroundings.
This is an important part of my journey also and I’m looking forward to discovering how golf will affect me in the years to come.
