Synopsis

Two-thousand-odd years ago, the ancient Chinese scribe Sun Tzu wrote a nice little tome entitled The Art of War - a book that, to this day, continues to earn the admiration of anyone who takes joy in knocking professional and political opponents into the middle of next week. Sadly, though, the venerable Mr. Sun appeared to have few words for those of us interested in that most civilized and noblest of pastimes - golf.
Or so it was thought.
It is with great pride that intrepid researchers Gary Parker Chapin and T. Liam McDonald now introduce the recently discovered Sun Tzu's Ancient Art of Golf, a never-before-seen manual of astounding relevance to golfers everywhere. From time-honored truths ("He who plants his feet like the hibiscus will avoid the dreaded reverse pivot") to tactical maneuvers ("He who stands too close to the ball on the seventh will hook, and hook badly"), this work proves that, even on the green, it pays to listen to one's elders.
