Swing, Walk, Repeat by Back Nine Press - Golf Obsessions & Observations

Swing, Walk, Repeat — Observations from a Lifelong Golf Obsession

Back Nine Press offers a soulful collection of essays written during the COVID-19 era, revealing how golf can anchor daily life for players at any level. The voice is intimate, patient, and gently opinionated, turning routine rounds into small, meaningful rituals.

From crisp mornings on misty fairways to the tactile memory of a persimmon woods swing, the pages invite you to notice the subtle textures of the game. The author writes with warmth about friendships formed on the course, the companionship of dogs at a round, and the quiet joys of a well-timed par or a shared laugh after a wayward drive.

What you’ll discover

• Thoughtful reflections on golf’s everyday rituals, etiquette, and camaraderie.
• Stories that celebrate course discovery, from hidden gems to memorable rounds with faithful companions.

Two recurring ideas ground the collection: generosity toward the game yields richer experiences, and a round can become a space for personal exploration. The essays read like brief, devotional glimpses—perfect for readers who enjoy short, reflective chapters between tee times.

Sensory moments and real-life use cases

• The feel of a grip in cool air, the creak of a cart, and the scent of fresh-cut grass after a rain—moments that linger beyond the 18th hole.
• Practical nods to favorites—playing with dogs on the course, considering the charm of persimmon woods, and seeking out less-traveled courses.

Ideal for fans building a golf library, this collection also makes a thoughtful gift for golfers who love thoughtful prose about the game they play. It can accompany mornings with a cup of coffee, a quiet drive to the course, or a reflective read after a round with friends.

Notes on tone and purpose

The book is not a how-to guide; it is a celebration of golf as a meaningful, ever-present thread in daily life. Readers may come away with a renewed appreciation for the game's rhythms, humor, and social bonds.
