Book Reviews of Golf in the Kingdom

Book Review: A little too far "out there"!
Summary: 2 Stars

I made it through the first half of the book, which is a narrative of the golfing adventure of the author with Shivas Irons, a pro at the Burningbush golf course in Scotland. Even this part of the book is a fairly strange read, dealing with the ultimate meaning of life as it realtes to golf, but involving way too much mysticism.

The second half, which is supposed to be the author's notes about the golfing philosophy of Shivas Irons, was just not readable to me. I just had way too many other books on my reading list to spend any more time trying to fight my way through this stuff!
