  Drew Millard loves golf. As a kid, he enjoyed the game, but since college, his clubs had been gathering dust in his parents' basement. And then, a bout with depression led him back home to haul them out of the unfinished storage. 
   
   
   
  It was what the doctor had ordered. In addition to medication and therapy, Drew needed to exercise. Exercise was not something he did. But golf? Sure, why not? As Drew fumbled his way through his first round in years, he discovered that sucking at golf was his new calling, one that helped him find a sense of balance and rhythm—both on the course and in his own mind. 
   
   
   
  Drew's connection to the game inspired him to write this book, and his passion is infectious. Combining great storytelling with fascinating historical tidbits and moving personal insights, he writes about everything from how golf taught him to be a better listener, son, and friend, to how to slow down, appreciate what he has, and keep fighting the good fight. Along the way, he demystifies the customs, history, and rules of the game. 
   
   
   
  Brimming with personality, accessibility, and a freewheeling spirit, How Golf Can Save Your Life is a celebration of the sport and an examination of all it offers.

  Track and field is one of the oldest and most celebrated sports in human history, dating back to ancient civilizations. Rooted in the basic human movements of running, jumping, and throwing, it has evolved into a dynamic and diverse athletic discipline that tests physical prowess, mental resilience, and strategic thinking. This chapter provides an overview of the sport, its rich history, and the variety of events that make up its exciting landscape. 
  The origins of track and field can be traced to the ancient Olympic Games in Greece, where events such as the stadion race—a short sprint—and the pentathlon captivated audiences. Over centuries, the sport expanded and adapted, becoming a cornerstone of modern athletics. Today, it encompasses a wide range of events, divided into three main categories: track events, field events, and combined events. 
  Track events include sprints, middle-distance and long-distance races, hurdles, and relays. These races test speed, endurance, and teamwork, often decided by fractions of a second. Field events, on the other hand, showcase an athlete's power and precision. Competitors excel in throwing disciplines such as shot put, discus, and javelin, as well as jumping events like the long jump, high jump, triple jump, and pole vault. Combined events, such as the decathlon and heptathlon, require athletes to master a mix of track and field disciplines, demanding unparalleled versatility.

  Even today none of us takes the decision lightly to leave our family and friends and go and try our hand in another country. But if we do; thanks to those who have gone before us, there is often a community ready and waiting to help us out on our arrival.
  All over Europe, Irish ex-pats are playing Gaelic football, sometimes along with locals or with other ex-pats from Australia and America. A whole network of GAA clubs has sprung up across the continent and they even have their own administrative structure, the European County Board, affiliated to the GAA.
  Philip O'Connor's marvellous book is an account of one year in the life of one player and one club in one country. You wouldn't normally associate the GAA with Sweden or with continental Europe generally but it's there, wherever there are Irish exiles to nurture it – in parishes far from home.

  The world of fitness is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging every year that promise to revolutionize the way we work out, eat, and live. From the introduction of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to the rise of yoga and meditation practices, the fitness industry has witnessed a whirlwind of changes over the last few decades. While some trends have become mainstream and proven their effectiveness, others have faded away just as quickly as they arrived. In this book, we explore the shocking truth about fitness trends, shedding light on both the benefits and pitfalls of these ever-changing fads.  
    
  Fitness trends are often shaped by a combination of scientific research, celebrity endorsements, social media buzz, and the desires of consumers looking for the next big thing. With so many new trends popping up every year, it can be overwhelming for individuals trying to navigate the fitness landscape. What’s the best approach? How do we know which trends are backed by real science, and which ones are simply driven by marketing hype?  
    
  The influence of social media and influencers has played a significant role in the rise of many fitness trends. Platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok have allowed fitness gurus and enthusiasts to reach millions of people with their workout routines and fitness tips. As a result, fitness trends often spread quickly, gaining popularity in the blink of an eye. But not all of these trends are created equal. While some are based on proven methodologies, others are fueled by misinformation or are only popular because they look good on camera.
