The world of golf is at a crossroads. As technological innovations displace traditional philosophies, the golfing community has splintered into two deeply combative factions: the old-school teachers and players who believe in feel, artistry and imagination, and the technical-minded who want to remake the game around data. In GOLF’S HOLY WAR, Brett Cyrgalis takes readers inside the heated battle playing out from weekend hackers to PGA Tour pros. But this is more than just a book about golf --- it’s a story about modern life and how we are torn between resisting and embracing the changes brought about by the advancements of science and technology. It’s also an exploration of historical legacies, the enriching bonds of education, and the many interpretations of reality.
