A guide to winning in life by learning from the game you love

The 18 Holes of Life
by Jovanie Harris

"18 Holes of Life brilliantly connects the game of golf to the everyday challenges we all face. Each chapter uses the lessons learned on the course—patience, resilience, mindset, and emotional control—to highlight how golf mirrors real life. The psychological insights are relatable, practical, and written in a way that feels genuine and encouraging. Whether you love golf or simply enjoy personal growth, this book is a thoughtful reminder that every “hole” in life teaches us something valuable."

"Whether you’re a golf enthusiast or just looking for some motivation, 18 Holes of Life is a must-read. It’s an uplifting experience that leaves you feeling empowered to tackle life’s challenges with confidence. Highly recommend!"

"This book is full of heart. It’s honest, motivating, and rooted in real experience. There are so many relatable lessons and reflections that stick with you long after reading. I’m truly inspired by the message and the man behind it. A powerful, uplifting read. I’m not a golfer, but I could follow every lesson easily, and the reflections still resonated with me. You don’t have to be an avid golfer to enjoy this book — the message is relatable, grounded, and motivating."

"As a therapist, I appreciate how this book uses golf as a powerful metaphor for incredibly useful life skills. The lessons are practical and easy for readers to apply. It encourages reflection without feeling clinical, making it a great tool for personal growth."

"Good read. Easy to read and had some real-life lessons I didn't expect. Glad I bought it. Would highly recommend to anyone looking keys to personal success."

"This book is an exceptional read. Although I’m a woman who knows absolutely nothing about golf, the lessons presented are powerful and universally applicable. I’ll be sharing this with my son and others in my circle, because the insights extend far beyond the game."

I’m the author of The 18 Holes of Life, an Amazon #1 New Release in golf that transforms the lessons of golf into a practical playbook for success on and off the course. As a debut author, I’m grateful that the book quickly climbed into the Top 5 in Golf and continues to inspire readers from seasoned golfers to non-golfers alike.


Beyond writing, I’m a community leader and youth advocate dedicated to building confidence, resilience, and opportunity through mentorship and intentional growth.
