Golf is a healing game, it turns out.

That truth surprises me a bit because I know golf to be a game that also tears wounds deep into the psyche.

But it heals, as well. Or perhaps I can best express it by saying that golf aids healing.

Here's the story of a former American Marine who fought in vietnam and who returns to face down his ghosts.

He takes a set of golf clubs with him and finds a far different country than the one that was torn apart by war.

I hope you take the time to read the whole story. It's well worth it.
