Golffirmations The Golfer's Book Of High Spirits And Lower Scores
To play the game is to know the pain. Golffirmations is an uplifting mix of meditations, poems, limericks, inspiring stories, golf prayers, and instructional mantras from the masters, along with occasional instructional tips or secrets. It is an anthology of exuberance and a celebration of the game, its courage, its toughness, and its humor. Not content to merely endorse a golfer's addiction to fairways and greens, Golffirmations actually aspires to deepen a duffer's passion. By learning to taste the pleasures of golf more deeply, a golfer will improve his game, even though he may never play it very well. Golffirmations is a book that will lower your score by raising your spirits. It reminds you of the enthusiasm of Chi Chi, the stoicism of Ben, the pleasure of your brother's company, and the brio of Arnie and young Woods. It recalls the swelter of high summer, the satisfaction of hitting one on the screws or of tapping one just so, and the dainty pleasure of donning a glove as tee time looms. If you love golf, you will want to read Golffirmations again and again.

A Birdie of a Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is not another semi-psychotic analysis of the technical aspects of the golf swing. Golffirmations goes straight to the very heart of the game. It's a wise and warm reflection onthe game's fascinations, frustrations and fellowship. It offers, in equal doses, bits of history, doses of hilarity, and the high-five hallelujahs that keep us on the course. O'Neill may not have won a major but he's certainly written one. Great idea for Father's Day.

In a category filled with books about the technical aspects of the golf swing, O'Neill's book goes straight to the very heart of the game. Golffirmations is a wise and warm rumination on the diabolical pleasures of the game, its endless frustrations, fascinations and fellowship. Wonderfully written, breezy and full of bounce. O'Neill hasn't won a major but he's written one. Great Father's Day gift.
