About the Book

Book Synopsis

"Focus not on the commotion around you, but on the opportunity ahead of you." -- Arnold Palmer
Most people live their lives chained to the oars of a life of their own choosing, whether defined by one's job, relationships, self-image or even their golf game. More often than not, the biggest obstacles one faces in life are those that we ourselves have placed in our own path. In the words of golf's great champions, there is undeniable wisdom, focus, passion and depth of purpose that goes well beyond the confines of the golf course. "Golf Wisdom of the Legends" celebrates these universal truths and messages of empowerment that will appeal to golfers and non-golfers alike.
