Golf Lessons is a delightful blend of humor, wisdom, and the nuanced art of the game we love. Through these poems, John Baldoni captures not just the rhythm of golf but the deeper lessons it imparts-humility, patience, camaraderie, and the joy of a well-struck ball (or even a shank). A must-read for anyone who finds their soul on the fairway."" Garry Ridge, Chairman Emeritus, WD-40 Company John Baldoni is not afraid to the illuminate the flaws of his own game for insights and laughs. After all golf is a game that teaches humility along with good fun."" Alan Mullaly, former CEO of Ford Motor Company and Boeing Commercial Airplanes I don't play golf, but I live with someone who puts himself to sleep each night by going over and over his favorite shots. So I'm intimately familiar with the dread of the shank, the agony of the slump, the pressure of the birdie putt. Now Baldoni has engaged his poetry muse to produce an ode to the game that is famously beautiful and frustrating in equal measure. Highly recommend!
