Overview

A meditative and practical guide to the unparalleled benefits of playing golf solo, presented in a beautifully designed, photo-filled gift book. While many players tend to think of golf as a group activity, hitting the links solo offers an exceptional opportunity to strengthen mental focus and develop aspects of one's game in real time. This completely fresh celebration of the sport-presented in a handsome design with gorgeous photography throughout-offers both Zen-like musings and practical tips for maximizing solo play. With sections on The Mystical (beautiful meditative essays exploring the unexpected mental benefits of solo golf), The Experimental (ways to use solo rounds as a laboratory for developing specific skills), and The Practical (best practices and course etiquette for a onesome), the book also features interesting sidebars, quotes from the greats, and stunning visuals of golfing bliss, making it a perfect gift for any avid golfer.

Reviews

""In this brilliant and evocative book, Belsky turns our notions of golf on their ear and shows us another side of the game so many of us play but so few have ever played solo."" --Jason and Randy Sklar, hosts of ESPN Classic's Cheap Seats ""It isn't very often that an author is able to provide an entirely new perspective to a topic that has been in existence for time immemorial. Gary's ability to describe something as beautifully simplistic as a ball and stick, yet as mentally enfeebling as golf, in an enlightening and sensorial manner is remarkable."" --Christina Kim, three-time LPGA Tour winner ""This book is a treasure map on the road to more birdies and, if you're open to it, perhaps even enlightenment."" --Kevin Van Valkenburg, Director of Content, The Fried Egg Golf
