People Actually Play Golf For The Bad Shots -- The Imaginary, The Symbolic, And The Real

from The Meaning of Golf · host thegolfpractice

Pete Leinenweber joins Dasa and Andy to discuss a theory from French philosopher Jacques Lacan: the imaginary, symbolic, and the real. This theory gives a lens for which to see the world in all its depth and complexity. In comparing it to golf they question if its the bad shots, not the good ones, that keep people playing golf and give golf its flavor.
