"Golf is, of course, only a game. But it is a game that loves you back. I know of no man, woman, or child that ever felt as if the game somehow let them down. It may at times challenge us more than we would like it to, but does not life do the same?" If there were a Mount Rushmore of golf, Gary Player's handsome, well-recognized face would have to be included. The winner of more than 160 professional tournaments, Player is a member of The Big Three-- along with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer-- who dominated professional golf through the 1960s and 1970s. But Player's influence goes far beyond the golf course. Recognized as the Black Knight, he is an accomplished businessman and devoted family man, a life-long philanthropist, and tireless international ambassador of golf. In The Golfer's Guide to the Meaning of Life, Player reflects on the most important life lessons that the game has taught him, lessons humble and profound, wise and universal. Written for nongolfers, new golfers, and experienced golfers alike, this is a book not about hitting a ball into a cup, but about what a funny old game can teach you about living life with strength, purpose, and joy.Player, Gary is the author of 'Golfer's Guide to the Meaning of Life Lessons I'Ve Learned from My Life on the Links' with ISBN 9781579544782 and ISBN 1579544789.
