It’s also the best game to play alone, when we need a bit of solitude to sort life problems, or to escape them or avoid them for just a few hours.\u003cbr\u003eIt’s also a game that connects generations. Some of our fondest memories of golf involve playing with our fathers and other family members. And while golf teaches us many lessons, some of them come through observing the actions and behaviors of those we play with. It's a cliché, but true: any time spent on the golf course is better than in the office. And bad shots are better than no shots at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes it’s an escape from the monotony of daily life. A moment of tranquility on a particular hole, observing some deer courageously exiting their home in the woods, or ducks or turtles sending themselves or at play together, or listening to the sounds of birds or crickets... I think there’s something innate that makes us look for these moments, and there’s so much of modern life that denies us them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT'S GREAT ABOUT GOLF seeks to capture all of what golf gives us, through 19 different viewpoints, each giving us a unique perspective on why we play golf and keep playing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-956237-16-0\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Back Nine Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42022269747286,"sku":"BNP05","price":51.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0129\/1462\/files\/SeamusGolfBookMockup.png?v=1762302699","url":"https:\/\/www.seamusgolf.com\/en-ca\/products\/whats-great-about-golf","provider":"SEAMUS GOLF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
