*You'

*
* is a deeply honest, often funny, and unexpectedly moving exploration of golf-

not as a game to be conquered, but as a lifelong relationship to be endured, misunderstood, and ultimately embraced.

Part memoir, part psychological inquiry, the book follows a mid-handicap golfer and longtime golf journalist who has spent decades studying the best players in the world-
