Golf’s Three Noble Truths: The Fine Art Of Playing Awake

Golf's Three Noble Truths

Here’s another new golf book that I recently was sent a copy of.

James Ragonnet has spent three decades studying golf and has applied the classic teachings of Buddha to the fine game we all love.

I’ll be the first to admit that a Hillbilly Golf Star like me has no business mixing Buddha and golf, so I was a little hesitant to review this book.

Not because I have anything against Buddha, but because I don’t feel qualified to critique his teachings.

I will point out that Mike Greenberg, of Mike and Mike in the Morning, from ESPN, said this about this book, ” If you play golf, you have to read this book. It will make you a better golfer, whether it improves your score or not. It will help you understand the game better than you ever have before. “

That’s about as well as I could say it, if I had said it. I don’t feel like a better golf, but I feel better about golfing, now that I’ve read the book. Maybe even like a better person.

Once again, I don’t see the need to hoard this book and let it collect dust on my shelf, so if you’ll leave a comment, I’ll choose a lucky winner from amongst the commenters and send this book to them.

Leave a comment, win a book, become a better person and maybe a better golfer too !

Wow, I’m amazed you’re not getting any comments to take you up on the offer.

I just read Tim Gallway’s book that seems similar. I’d be happy to give it a read.
