New Book Release: "Golf Is a Four Letter Word" by Peter Kratka, MD - A Humorous Take on Lifelong Learning Through Golf

Peter Kratka, MD, a retired radiologist and avid golfer, announces the release of his debut book, “Golf Is A Four Letter Word.” This semi-autobiographical work is a blend of humor and fiction that delves into the life lessons learned from the challenging and unpredictable game of golf.

Peter Kratka, known for his precision and expertise in the medical field, has spent over 30 years as a radiologist in Queens, NYC. Despite his professional achievements, he has always struggled with the game of golf, a sport his father introduced him to at the age of 15. In Golf Is A Four Letter Word, Peter shares his experiences and the valuable insights he has gained from his lifelong attempt to master the unmasterable game.

The book is more than just a narrative about golf; it is a reflection on the broader themes of striving for competence, embracing imperfection, and finding humor in life’s challenges. Peter’s journey on the golf course serves as a metaphor for the broader journey of lifelong learning. Through his flailing attempts at mastering the game, Peter learns humility, patience, and the importance of not taking oneself too seriously.

“Golf pits man against nature, and nature wins every time,” says Peter. “The game asks players to be their best selves but also to accept that perfection is an illusion. It’s a humbling experience that teaches you to laugh at yourself and appreciate the journey.”

In addition to his reflections on golf, Peter shares personal anecdotes about teaching his wife, Suzanne, and their four children to play. These stories highlight the bonds and battles of shared activities and how they can bring families closer together.

Golf Is A Four Letter Word” is not just for golfers. It is for anyone who has ever faced a challenge and found joy in the journey of lifelong learning. Peter’s humorous and insightful writing will resonate with readers of all ages and backgrounds, offering inspiration and laughter in equal measure.

Peter Kratka, MD, now resides in Palm Beach, Florida, and splits his time between New York City and East Hampton, NY. He continues to enjoy golf despite its challenges and has been writing poetry and short stories since high school. This is his first published book.

Golf Is A Four Letter Word is available for purchase on Amazon.com and other major retailers.
