A friend had read this book and told me about it.  I guess I should have asked him if it was a good book.  I read the reviews on Amazon and like any book there are going to be some people who think the book is great.  There were several who did so but I am not one of them.

The book is only appealing to avid golfers and I mean avid.  A hacker like me just can’t really relate to having think through the intricacies of shot making as described in the book.

It is the story of a struggling golf pro who finds himself in Utopia, Texas where he gets connected with Johnny the local golf pro so to speak at a small golf course in the middle of nowhere.   Having played on some courses like the one described in the book, I could appreciate this part of the book.  The lessons that the struggling golfer learns from Johnny are certainly applicable to golf and life in general but not earth shattering as far as I am concerned.  The book has a strong spiritual message and can be a good way to share the gospel with someone who loves golf but otherwise while it kept my attention it is not one I would highly recommend.
