BE THE BALL!  A MYSTICAL GOLF NOVEL

Travis Jones, a.k.a. “The Wolf”, is a high handicapper whose passion for golf is severely affected by the proverbial adversity of the game. After his flight suffers engine problems over the Himalayas, the plane makes an emergency landing in Zanskar on a desolate military base attended by a platoon of Indian soldiers and a few Dard herdsmen. 

Waiting for help, Travis is challenged by the locals into a golf driving contest against Bahir, an old Dard hermit who had been introduced to the game by a British colonist in the 1940’s. 

By incorporating ancient Dard beliefs into golf, Bahir has succeeded in cultivating an astounding swing and demonstrates masterly talent during his easy victory over Travis.

Travis beseeches Bahir to enlighten him. Hesitant to share his exalted wisdom, the master proposes instead to act as a caddie for one round of golf on the dreaded McLeod course along the Zanskar river. Travis accepts despite eerie rumors that the natural links stretching in the wilderness have the capacity to reveal a golfer’s most intimate thoughts. 

On a collision course with his inner demons, Travis embarks on the game of his life, hoping to acquire Bahir’s arcane techniques and discover the clue to the ultimate golf riddle: how to become one with the club, the ball and the terrain and play sensational golf.

Be the Ball! is an allegorical tale, offering a sensual, entertaining and inspiring approach to a beguiling game. Yet, “golf is not just a game,” says the Dard master turned caddie, “it is a metaphor for life.”
