I am not a golfer, but dowloaded this for my spouse who is. I decided to read this essay and found it to be a very insighful piece on golf, and how it's changed over the years. It isn't rule changes and such as in other professional sports, but the perception of who can and does play. It's not a judgemental piece, but an observation of society.

I downloaded it as a free book, thinking Don might enjoy reading this. I read it before he does, and it is only 16 pages long. This is a reprint of an article published ten years ago in Golf magazine.

A short essay written by "The King". Packed full of wisdom on the game of golf, it is a must read for anyone who has ever teed up a little white ball.

A nice, quick read, I think I'd have appreciated it more if I was a fan of Golf, which is why I've only given it 3 stars.

Tiny little read, more a monologue but good for a freebie. Written in 1994 and interesting that Arnie predicts the Tiger age and I read it on the day of Tiger & Phil’s $9m match - Arnie’s thoughts that golf remains so palatable because it’s not sensationalized rang true there for sure.
