Golfing on the Roof of the World by Rick Lipsey Pdf

Rick Lipsey returned from a vacation with an unusual job offer. After playing a few rounds at Bhutan's Royal Thimphu Golf Club, one of the members asked if he'd consider becoming the kingdom's golf pro. "Sure, I'd love to move to Bhutan," Lipsey flippantly responded. Next thing you know, he, his wife, and their infant daughter are boarding a plane for this remote Himalayan country. With one foot in the ancient world and the other in the twenty-first century, Bhutan is working to successfully meld the old and the new, from subsistence farming and religious festivals to the Internet and World Wrestling Entertainment. In Golfing on the Roof of the World, Rick sets great golf travel writing against the bigger political story of Bhutan's entrance to the modern world. Not only does he teach and play golf in the shadow of the world's tallest peaks, but he also comes to understand the seismic shifts in store for the last Buddhist kingdom where peace and spiritual prosperity have abounded, and the national standard for measuring success is Gross National Happiness.

Golf by Curtis D. Benton, Jr. Pdf

The American Senior Golf Association consisted of 900 men. Twenty four men are selected annually for the International Team. One year the team plays the Europeans for the King Leopold Cup, the next year they play the Japanese for the Prince Nabashima-Quittner Trophy. Managing 24 men and their wives and the golf matches is more than one man can handle. Fortunately I had four men who helped me 'stay the course' during my years as Captain from 1985 - 1993. 'This book will greatly enrich your love for the game of golf as well as your love for the Lord Jesus Christ. I share both of these loves with Curtis. Hopefully this book will stir you to use the game of golf to spread God's love to all those you come in contact with. It contains some wonderful stories which will bless you as they have me.' -Wally Armstrong, PGA Professional

Great American Golf Stories by Jeff Silverman Pdf

Since the day several hundred years ago that a Scottish shepherd first struck a rock with a shillelagh, perhaps no single athletic pursuit has brought man more joy and frustration, more fulfillment and utter despair, than the game of golf. It has been said by many that it is a microcosm of life itself—a beautiful game which tests the mind, body, and spirit. And as a testament to that, there is no shortage of inspired writing on the topic, as golf has long caught the interest and imagination of some of the world's finest and most celebrated writers. In Great American Golf Stories, editor Jeff Silverman collects some of the best classic writings, both fact and realistic fiction, that reflect the rich history, tradition, agony, and ecstasy of one of our most enduring and endearing pastimes. With contributions from F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ring Lardner, Charles E. Van Loan, and many more . . .
