Author of Golf and the Spirit Died

I really enjoyed M. Scott Peck's Golf and the Spirit : Lessons for the Journey, so I was sorry to see that he passed last week.

He was 69 and had cancer.

Many people know his more popular book -- The Road Less Travelled.

In Golf and the Spirit, he writes about how golf can be deeply rewarding because it gives you the chance to play out many of the challenges you face in life. It may sound serious but it was actually a lot of fun to read and really helped me get more from playing.

Sorry to be a little serious, but it's a great book and anyone who enjoyed it would probably know where I'm coming from.

If your golf game has ever made you think you ought to have your head examined, then Dr. Peck (psychiatrist) may have a helpful perspective. Among other things, he discusses the need to get out of your own way so you can achieve your goals (in golf and life). I'm sure that Golf and the Spirit won't appeal to everyone, but I suspect that people inclined to hear his message will like it a lot.

For more of a sense of what the book is like, see this Amazon page for editorial and customer reviews:

Thanks for mentioning this, Bored in CT.
