The Game for a Lifetime by Harvey Penick

Timeless lessons from the master of the game.

This, the fourth book by Harvey Penick, was nearly finished when he died in April 1995. A return to the timeless wisdom that has made his first bestseller, Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, a modern classic, The Game for a Lifetime does not contain the technical swing tips and stance aids of today's instructional guides, but dispenses a philosophy on golf, and on life.

Harvey Penick knew that the teachings in his book would stand the test of time, and he spent his lifetime pursuing and enjoying all that the game has to offer--physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The Game for a Lifetime, the final book by Harvey Penick, stands as a wonderful testimonial to this legendary career, his celebrated teaching style, and his ability to affect the lives of the people who had the good fortune to know him.

Harvey Penick was a well-known golf pro who began his career as a caddie at the Austin Country Club in Texas. He never left the country club, where he continued to teach until his death in 1995, despite thirty years as a golf instructor at the University of Texas, where he worked with Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw, and Betsy Rawls. Bud Shrake, a golf enthusiast and coauthor of all of Penick's books, passed away in 2009.
