The book from the authors perspective is about someone who came to golf late. He has a conflicted look back in time when he began playing golf, knowing now he did not see the whole picture but only that he wanted to play golf. No consideration of what playing golf would entail. He knows very well a clear-headed and well-thought-out approach to start playing golf probably would have stymied or created mental crutches rather than playing golf. He would have discovered reasons not to play. He obviously did not think of the driver first approachto start with the driver and find out what to expect going forward. The bulk of the book is not about golf. It is about being an adult when he decided to start playing golf. Some of what happened on and off the golf course. It is not about the fine points of a good golf game.
