Produktbeschreibung

Why is your partner completely captivated by a game that seems slow, quiet, and, let's be honest, confusing? Why does "just one round" turn into a half-day expedition filled with text alerts, post-game recaps, and more emotional ups and downs than a Netflix drama? If you've ever found yourself on the sidelines of your spouse or significant other's golf obsession, feeling frustrated, confused, or simply curious, then this book is for you. Think Like a Golfer: How to Explain My Love for Golf to My Wife or Significant Other is not your average sports book. It's a lighthearted, witty, and unexpectedly insightful journey into the mind of a golf lover, from someone who lives and breathes the game. Written by Arturo Lorde, an entrepreneur, adventurer, and real-life golf enthusiast, this book is a tribute to the game and a bridge of understanding for the people who love those who love golf. Arturo speaks directly to the significant others, whether you're married, dating, or somewhere in between, and gives a crash course on what golf is, how it works, and most importantly, why it matters so much. From hilarious stories of botched swings and competitive trash talk to genuine moments of growth, bonding, and therapeutic quiet on the course, Lorde explores how golf becomes more than just a hobby, it becomes a lifestyle. But this book isn't just for those who don't play. It's also for those who do. Whether you're the one up at 6 a.m. polishing your clubs, or the one waving goodbye from the porch wondering when your spouse will return, Think Like a Golfer will have you laughing, nodding, and saying "oh, so that's what this is all about." Each chapter peels back the curtain with humor and honesty: Why golfers are "hooked" (and what that really means) How a simple trip to the driving range becomes a lifelong obsession The real reason text messages don't get answered mid-round How the game can keep your partner out of trouble (yes, really) What it takes to become a golf partner, even if you don't pick up a club And perhaps most important of all: how understanding the mindset of a golfer can actually strengthen your relationship. Packed with personal anecdotes, practical insights, and laugh-out-loud moments, Think Like a Golfer offers something unique, clarity, connection, and even healing through the lens of a game most people don't fully understand. This is not just a book about golf. It's a love letter to relationships that endure despite the quirks, passions, and strange obsessions we all bring to the table. Whether you're trying to make peace with the game, understand the mind of your partner, or simply want to laugh your way through the fairway of life, Arturo Lorde delivers a perspective that's honest, relatable, and full of heart. So, the next time your partner grabs their clubs and says "just 18 holes," you'll not only smile, you might even want to ride along.
