Reviews
Named one of "The Fifty Best Golf Books Every Golfer Should Read" by Golf Digest "Mystical" -- The New York Times "Almost 50 years ago, Michael Murphy penned what many consider to be the definitive book on golf -- not that he knew it at the time. But to this day, the magical power and mystical musings of golf in the kingdom inspire" -- Golf "In the late '70s, I discovered my caddie Mike [Fluff] Cowan had one book in his possession -- a copy of Golf in the Kingdom , which was all torn apart and held together by tape and rubber bands. I said, 'What is this?' He growled, 'Only the best golf book ever written.' And he was right." -- Peter Jacobsen "It gives us the language to talk about the spiritual side of the game, which I have always believed in." -- Brad Faxon "a golf classic if any exists in our day." -- John Updike "...this book is a slow burn that relies on dialogue to make the reader think and examine why they play golf. As such, the book is best enjoyed by golfers who enjoy the mental aspects of the game and especially those that live for the feeling of peace the sport brings." - - Golflink.com
