Dear RocketMan, Have you ever been sailboat racing by a penninsula that has a golf course and had the odd experience of having a golf ball go kerplunk into the pocket of a slightly luffing sail? It gives a new meaning to the term "hole to leeward." The subject of golf has always intrigued me, even long before I actually began playing it myself several years ago. I was into perhaps my second year of playing when I came across the book by Michael Murphy, GOLF IN THE KINGDOM, a very, very fascinating book. Later on, I had occasion to be at some seminars at Esalen, Big Sur, and the topic of the "inner game," was a very active one. Now, by coincidence, I happened to have reason to visit the Esalen website yesterday, just prior to this thread talk about the game of golf. I have provided the link to the workshop that is described in what I have pasted below. One of my favorite courses is but a few miles from my summer camp, which is on Canada Lake in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State. This is known as the Nick Stoner golf course, constructed in 1929. All eighteen holes are pretty much the same as when first constructed, being a very hilly course, very green, and having lovely woods and ponds. The course probably averages about 15,000 rounds a year. Charliss esalen.org Week of September 13-18 Golf in the Kingdom: An Exploration of the Deeper Game Stephen Cohen & Andy Nusbaum Ye'll come away from the links with a new hold on life, that is certain if ye play the game with all your heart.-Michael Murphy (as Shivas Irons), Golf in the Kingdom The game of golf provides many opportunities to enhance the journey of self-discovery. It can be experienced not only as an athletic endeavor, but also as a metaphor for the way one lives. Just as in life, issues of self-confidence, fear, trust, discipline, and awareness emerge in the conflict between the ego's desire for success and the inner self's ability to achieve. During these five days, teaching methods gleaned from a study of the deeper game will be utilized, as well as principles from psychosynthesis and Gestalt, to explore the inner self and how one interferes with its emergence. Two days will be spent on field trips to the Monterey Peninsula where participants will practice and play in some of the most beautiful golf country in the world. On other days there will be time to relax and enjoy the natural pleasures of Esalen and Big Sur.
