The book takes on the structure and themes reminiscent of the classic Persian poet Omar Khayyam, with a focus on the joys and trials of golfing. Through a blend of humor and nostalgia, the work encapsulates the essence of a golfer's life, addressing the transience of happiness and the inevitability of aging. The collection features a series of verses that vividly depict the golfing experience, capturing the camaraderie among players, the beauty of the courses, and the existential reflections that golf brings to one’s life. Boynton muses about the fleeting nature of success, the wisdom gleaned from the game, and the importance of enjoying the moment spent on the green. With clever allegories and a playful tone, he contrasts the pressures of competition with the simple joy of playing for pleasure, ultimately inviting readers to appreciate the game and the shared experiences it fosters among golf enthusiasts.
