There are many ways in which golf can serve as a metaphor for life, and throughout the pages of Wintering Into Wisdom, author M. Ernest Marshall displays for the reader a multitude of different parallels between the two. Crafted with sage insight, Marshall’s poignant tale is designed to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation not only for the game itself, but also for how it can help provide a useful context for the decisions we often make in life. Confronted with a variety of different challenges both on and off the course, Marshall’s eclectic cast of characters share a host experiences together, learning invaluable lessons along the way that last them for a lifetime.

Touching on everything from love to money to family to career choices, Wintering Into Wisdom truly has something for everyone. Though the primary focus of the book is centered on the weekly golf games of the legendary “Th’ Foursome” of Doc, Doug, George, and Harry, Marshall cleverly uses their weekly getaway as a backdrop for the unfolding action of the tale. As he highlights each man’s individual path through life, Marshall provides readers with vivid reflections of themselves, taking them on a vicarious journey through everyday experiences with which we are all familiar – and taking great care to display how we’re ultimately affected by the decisions that we make as we wend our way through a wide variety of ups and downs. No matter how much knowledge and wisdom we may amass over the course of our lives, though, we are seemingly pre-destined to remain on a trek to discover the deeper meaning behind all things, a point that Marshall makes quite effectively via the seasoned exploits of his compelling protagonists.

Rife with equal parts humor and gravitas, Wintering Into Wisdom is a veritable page-turner for the more discerning readers among us.
