Buddhism, a philosophy that is traced back to Prince Gautama, focuses on renunciation of worldly pleasures. It is ironic, but certainly not surprising, to see the WSJ run an article on golfers swinging on Buddhism. If the golfers followed Buddhism, they would not be playing "professional golf." Truly an great example of the awful reasons for adopting Buddhism. Further, the writer should have avoided the phrase "holy terror." Terror is the farthest from the Buddhist faith.
It's fair to say Buddhism could make him a better person. But here's a scary notion for the rest of the PGA Tour: There's a reasonable chance it could make him a better golfer, too.
A growing number of golfers and golf coaches all over the world are warming up to the idea that the ancient religion, which teaches followers to let go of their egos, attachments and desires in order to attain enlightenment, could be the faith most suited to making somebody a holy terror on the links."
