This one is well worth the read. Not only is it quite inspirational, it is simply filled with wisdom. While the emphasis of corse centers around the wonderful game of golf and will certainly be enjoyed by both young and old golfers alike, it goes far beyond the game and could be throughly enjoyed by anyone, even if you never picked up a club. The book is a series of letters from a man to his son. They are the kind of letters all fathers should be able to write thier sons (and daughters, for that matter). Recommend this one highly. It is probably one you will want to add to your collection.

Addressing life from a golf perspective, Bob Duval does so in a series of letters. Mentoring friends, students, family and his father, he reveals that the only secret to the game is there is no secret.

His advice his tempered by his experiences and those related to him. Thus, this mentoring oozes with one poignant thought: play the shot that's in front of you.

The Duvals have had plenty of that medicine to swallow to teach them. Loss of son, of marriage, of love for the game. From that grit comes this mentoring sage.

Much in here to reflect on. Fascinating insights from inside the ropes to those of us on outside. Play on!
