Bill Pennington, author of the beloved and widely read "On Par" golf
column for the "New York Times," knows how to interpret the experts and
pros for the rest of us. For years, he has traveled the globe in search
of golf's essentials--those basic principles, those elusive truths (and
who are we kidding, any trick or quick fix he can pick up along the way)
that will improve anyone's game. He has consulted the world's leading
golf instructors as well as countless caddies, groundskeepers, parking
lot attendants, and bartenders. He has played rounds with Tiger Woods,
Annika Sorenstam, and Justin Timberlake. He has sought the advice of
psychiatrists, physicists, economists, zen masters. And on a
particularly bad golf outing, he has even discussed the fickleness of
golf with a quite helpful raccoon.
"On Par "captures it all: From
equipment and instruction, to the rules and language of golf, to
camaraderie and psychology, to the short game/long game debate,
Pennington informs and entertains as he gets to the essence of this
mercurial game, including golf's holy grail, the hole in one.
Part
instruction, part education, part therapy, and shot through with
Pennington's trademark wit, this is a book for everyone who has ever
felt the game's distinct pull--and slice.
