The Poetics of Golf

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I was also surprised at how much of it actually improved my game. Swing theory, equipment adjustments, practice routines, these were all discussed in ways that I had never heard before. There are some great interviews too. Mostly I enjoyed the reflection from a seasoned devotee to the game and someone who has played golf since his youth. This is a book I'm sure I'll read a few more times in years to come to mine everything I can out of it.

This is a very insightful and passionate view of the game of golf. Suprisingly personal as well. I've been playing, studying, and reading about the game for over 35 years and this is one of the most original books I've read on golf. Mr. Brumer's views on life's experiences as they relate to golf will make you think about your own reasons for playing this game. His views on the playing and teaching of the game are based upon years of being exposed to some of its most original thinkers (Ben Doyle, Gregg McHatton, Bobby Clampett, etc). I don't believe Andy intended for this book to actually improve one's game but I can assure you - it will.

Andy Brumer created another masterpiece. He takes us to new places on and off the golf course. Great reading for those days that you are not teeing it up.

Andy has done it. There are lots of golf books. I was once told there are more books about golf than all the other sports books put together. The amazing thing is that so many of these golf books are the same. They just have different covers. Andy has succeeded in writing his second thoughtful and original golf book in less than a year. This is an outstanding accomplishment. To take advantage of all the work that Andy has done you need to read his book! You and your golf will be better because you did.
