br. Il campo da golf è senz'altro uno specchio della vita. Sul tee, sul fairway o sul green, sono tanti e tali gli episodi epici che si sono succeduti che non c'è da meravigliarsi se ogni golfista che si rispetti ama la storia del gioco. In questo libro agile, divertente e a suo modo istruttivo, Richard Allen ci racconta 56 straordinarie storie di golf - ora di grandi campioni ora di illustri sconosciuti. Storie che sottolineano il parallelismo tra il golf e la vita, in cui siamo chiamati di continuo a valutare rischi e opportunità e, soprattutto, a prendere decisioni difficili che portano a trionfi gloriosi o a sconfitte disastrose. Il golf è dunque una palestra di vita, in cui coraggio e paura accomunano campioni e dilettanti. Forse nessuno ha colto questa verità meglio del grande Tom Watson: «Mai arrenderti. Se ti arrendi in questo gioco, ti arrenderai nella vita. E se ti arrendi la prima volta, sarà più facile arrenderti la seconda, la terza e la quarta volta.»
