Wisdom That's Par for the CourseGolfers with a taste for chicken soup will appreciate Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Jeff Aubery and Mark and Chrissy Donnelly's Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul: The 2nd Round: More Stories of Insight, Inspiration and Laughter on the Links. In the introduction, the authors explain how golf is like a mirror that "surrounds our every shot, decision and intention on the course, and reflects it back in perfect clarity." From there, chapters entitled "Going for the Green," "Out of the Rough" and "Golf Links a Family Together" discuss the reflective nature of the sport. These pieces are alternately funny, thoughtful and poignant.Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Smelling freshly mowed grass on a perfectly manicured course. Making par. Watching Tiger, Nicklaus or your son nail an impossible shot. Partaking in after-game banter at the 19th hole. All of these things bring pure joy to golfing enthusiasts, and so will Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul: The 2nd Round, an uplifting and entertaining collection of stories that celebrates the links and those who love them.

Whether you're a beginning hacker or a golfing ace, you know that there's more to this game than chasing a white ball. In one afternoon on the fairway, golf can remind you that often the greatest challenges you face are against yourself; it can provide you with a test of your integrity when a ball gets wedged under a tree root while your opponent isn't looking; and it can offer a chance to react with style or a scowl when you miss a "gimme." In that way, golf becomes a mirror reflecting life's triumphs and tribulations, teaching lessons that transcend the game and reveal the true nature of the human spirit.

Written by professional golfers, caddies and weekend duffers, Chicken Soup for the Golfer's Soul: The 2nd Round conveys what players have learned from and love most about the game: spending time with friends on your favorite course; seeing your short game improve after consistent practice; and bridging generations by helping the youngest member of your party address the ball while watching the oldest one hit a drive that's not as far as it was when he taught you how to swing a club.

In the spirit of this great sport comes a book for all those who love it -- or love it most of the time.
