"Golfers and lovers of language will adore this 1908 volume." Publishers Weekly "Goes to the heart of golf's peculiar lovability and enduring fascination." -- John Updike "THE MYSTERY OF GOLF states with great eloquence this hard-learned truth about golf -- even though we often fail in our attempts to master this game, we find in its many secrets a better definition of ourselves." -- Hale Irwin, "Goes to the heart of golf's peculiar lovability and enduring fascination." -- John Updike "THE MYSTERY OF GOLF states with great eloquence this hard-learned truth about golf -- even though we often fail in our attempts to master this game, we find in its many secrets a better definition of ourselves." -- Hale Irwin

Synopsis
Written in 1908 by a Canadian belletrist who fancied himself a golfer, this classic treatise explores man's age-old love affair with golf - and pronounces it incurable. Just as a careful player sizes up a putt from all possible angles, so does Haultain examine this curious game, from the physiology of the perfect swing, to the psychology of a sport in which the opponent is oneself, to the peculiar brand of spirituality that leads people around eighteen holes with the promise of nothing morethan "almost." THE MYSTERY OF GOLF may not help shave strokes off your game, but its delightful meditations on why we care so much make for "pure, evergreen entertainment" (Herbert Warren Wind)., Written in 1908 by a Canadian belletrist who fancied himself a golfer, this classic treatise explores man's age-old love affair with golf - and pronounces it incurable.
