Now in paperback, a “smart, insightful, funny, moving” (Shea Serrano) exploration of golf, an often-misunderstood game, and the valuable roles it can play in our lives
Golf saved Drew Millard’s life, and he wants it to save yours, too.
Drew Millard loves golf. We’re talking climbing-a-mountain, jumping-over-the-moon, standing-outside-golf’s-window-holding-a-boom-box levels of love. As a kid, he’d enjoyed the game, but after college, his clubs had been gathering dust in his parents’ basement. And then a bout with depression led him back home to haul them out of the unfinished storage area under the stairs.
It was what the doctor had ordered. In addition to medication and therapy, Drew needed to exercise. Exercise was not something he did. But golf? Sure, why not? As Drew fumbled his way through his first round in years, he discovered that sucking at golf was his new calling, one that helped him find a sense of balance and rhythm—both on the course and in his own mind.
Drew’s deep emotional connection to the game inspired him to write this book, and his passion is infectious. Combining great storytelling with fascinating historical tidbits and moving personal insights, he writes about everything from how golf taught him to be a better listener, son, and friend, to how to slow down, appreciate what he has, and keep fighting the good fight. Along the way, he demystifies the customs, history, and rules of the game.
Brimming with personality, accessibility, and a freewheeling spirit, How Golf Can Save Your Life is a celebration of the sport and an examination of all it offers. Read it and fall in love with golf—for the first time or all over again.
