"I loved this book. It's funny, irreverent, touching, and, best of all, true. Great stuff". -- James Dodson, author of Final Rounds

"A thrilling and revealing search through the fairways and roughs of America.... Ride shotgun with Hallberg and play a few holes.... "The Soul of Golf" is exciting, adventuresome, insightful". -- Fort Worth Star-Telegram

One hot summer morning, William Hallberg set off on an journey across the United States to penetrate -- and illuminate -- the soul of golf. No course was too grand, no driving range too humble for a stop on his unpredictable tour. He tackled Kiawah Island's diabolical and breathtaking Ocean Course with a party of well-heeled Southern gents; tromped through sagebrush roughs and kikuyu bunkers in the Nevada outback -- and between games, nursed his wounds, pondered his constantly mutating handicap, and commiserated with fellow golfers.

Part travelogue, part memoir, part meditation, part paean to the greenest sport known to man, "The Soul of Golf" is truly an American odyssey.
