Infos

This book is not yet another manual on how to play golf. Its author is neither a player nor a professional teacher. This is the pupils' book. It is the first of its kind, which makes it unique. It gives an account of the apprentice golfer's quest for perfection, authenticity, and beauty and the long, hard road that must be travelled to achieve this. The journey of initiation necessarily precedes initiation to the golf course. In doing so, this book brings to light a philosophy in the literal sense of the word: the love of wisdom. as described by Shawn Clement, the founding father of Wisdom in Golf, and transmitted throughout Europe by Édouard Montaz, his brilliant disciple. Édouard and Virgile. Master and pupil. The pupil who learns from the master, who in turn learns from the pupil. This virtuous exchange opens up the path to inspired golf. And overturns the normal order of things. Indeed, it brings with it a revelation that sheds new light on the Arthurian legend and the quest for the Grail.

THE PUPIL (THE AUTHOR): For many years now, Virgile has worked for the United Nations and in particular, the World Health Organisation.

Since his meeting in 2009 with Shawn, he has disseminated Wisdom in golf pedagogy throughout Europe. With more than 7 million views and more than 22,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel, Édouard is now an indispensable reference for learners of golf in all Francophone countries.
