Golf will break you down mid-round and then dare you to rebuild yourself between holes — and the players who fall in love with the game aren’t the ones who avoid disaster, they’re the ones who refuse to let it define the next shot.

Why We Play is a continuing collection of literary essays about the moments, relationships and quiet truths that make golf far more than a game. These stories explore memory, friendship, family, challenge and the unexpected ways a round can reveal who we are when the score no longer matters. Each essay begins with golf, but ultimately asks what the game teaches us about living, belonging and returning to the things we love.
Golf teaches patience one quiet moment at a time, reminding us that the most meaningful lessons often arrive long before the scorecard is finished.
The hardest holes rarely change who wins a round—they change who we become. Golf's greatest challenges often reveal our greatest growth.
Joy isn't found in perfect scores or unforgettable shots. It's discovered in quiet moments, lifelong friendships, and the rounds we never expected to remember.
One of golf’s most misunderstood rules gets broken down in plain language, with real examples of when to reload, when to declare a provisional, and what stroke-and-distance actually means.
