the course,Merullo explores the notionof a \"true goal of golf,\"a hidden attractionthat,ultimately,has more to do with deeppeace and satisfaction than with the dream ofplaying on the PGA tour.He finds connectionsbetween fairway lessons and the mysticalwisdom of Lao Tzu,Theresa of Avila,Thoreau,Jesus,Buddha,and Walt Whitman,among many others,and looks into the roleof ego,anger,and silence in
