Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Wisdom That's Par for the CourseGolfers with a taste for chicken soup will appreciate Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Jeff Aubery and Mark and Chrissy Donnelly's Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul: The 2nd Round: More Stories of Insight, Inspiration and Laughter on the Links. In the introduction, the authors explain how golf is like a mirror that "surrounds our every shot, decision and intention on the course, and reflects it back in perfect clarity." From there, chapters entitled "Going for the Green," "Out of the Rough" and "Golf Links a Family Together" discuss the reflective nature of the sport. These pieces are alternately funny, thoughtful and poignant.

This review is from: Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul, The 2nd Round: 101 More Stories of Insight, Inspiration and Laughter on the Links (Paperback)

Good, light read, but not as good as the first round (Book I).

These stories are longer, not as short, catchy or memorable as Book I. The first book was filled with birdies and an eagle or two. This one is heavy on pars with a few birdies. In short, it is very much a sequal.

This does not mean it does not have its merits. Stories are good, and one, "The Life and Times of a Golf Ball" is outstanding, alone worth the price of the book.

Buy the book, read and enjoy. It's good, but not as good as the first. Great reading for what Sir Winston Churchill would call "the smallest room in the house!"
