註釋Harry Morgan?s life ? due to his own inertia and inattention ? has bottomed out. He?s failed to live up to the start in life that his self-made father gave him, he?s ashamed of his profession, his failed marriage, and his golf game stinks.Then a strange old codger drifts into Harry?s life. Joseph is an enigma: possibly unbalanced, perhaps not even real, he may have the secret of extraordinary golf. Harry presses him for help with his game, but Joseph insists that Harry first consider a series of other ideas: a strange mix of quantum physics, Eastern philosophy, and life questions. To appease Joseph, Harry accepts a series of single-page ?thought exercises.' As he completes each, Joseph randomly shows up, offers a golf idea, and leaves Harry with another work sheet.Harry?s experience with Joseph finally culminates at an isolated Japanese Zen retreat ? The Order of the Third Eye ? that features an old-style golf course used by the monks as a Zen exercise ? a koan. Does Harry?s life heal? Does his handicap drop? Who is this strange old guy, anyway?
