About the Book
Golf is often viewed as a social game, but what happens when you take to the course alone?
In Solo Golf, Gary Belsky explores the surprising benefits of playing golf by yourself—from improving concentration and creativity to deepening self-awareness and sharpening your skills. Blending practical advice, thoughtful reflections, and stunning golf photography, the book celebrates solo play as both a pathway to better golf and a richer experience of the game itself. Through meditative essays, skill-building exercises, and practical tips for navigating the course as a "onesome," Belsky reveals how solitude on the fairway can transform both your game and your mindset.
