He has consulted elite  golf instructors as well as countless caddies, groundskeepers, parking  lot attendants, and bartenders. He has played rounds with Tiger Woods,  Annika Sorenstam, and Justin Timberlake. He has spoken with  psychiatrists, economists, and Zen masters. On a particularly bad  outing, he even discoursed on the fickleness of golf with a wise  raccoon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eOn Par\u003c\/em\u003e, Pennington distills this wisdom in  an insightful guide to the game. From equipment to the language of golf,  from camaraderie to the short-game\/long-game debate, Pennington informs  and entertains readers as he gets to the essence of the game, including  that Holy Grail, the hole in one. Part instruction, part therapy, and  shot through with Pennington’s trademark wit and humor, this is a book  for everyone who has felt the game’s distinct pull—and slice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A  phenomenal guide . . .
