"It's Not About the Ball"

Thanks to reader Chuck for noticing this note from Marty Parkes on the USGA blog plugging their new book of photographs from the archive:

And make sure you take the time to give a careful read to the book's final essay called "It's Not About the Ball" by our friend, Tom Friedman.

Yes, that Tom Friedman of “The New York Times,” who writes such great columns and books about humanity's most pressing problem.  Fortunately for us, Tom is a golf nut who willingly shared some personal thoughts about what makes the game so special and how it has had an enduring impact upon his life. Let this book become a part of your life as well.

"It's Not About the Ball"?

Let's hope it's not what it sounds like it could be.
