About

The bestselling classic novel about an American traveler's spiritual journey into the world of golf   When Michael Murphy first meets golf pro Shivas Irons on one of the most beautiful courses in Scotland, he doesn't know that his life-and his golf game-will change forever. But with the first swing of the Scotsman's club Murphy realizes he is in for a most extraordinary day.  By turns comic, philosophical, mythic, and autobiographical, this tale traces the arc of twenty-four hours-from a round of golf on the Links of Burningbrush to a night fueled by whiskey, wisdom, and wandering. This story delves into the transformative power of golf and reveals a unique and unforgettable approach to the game.

Reviews

"Murphy's book is going to alter many visions. He's written a mystical tale capable of winning a constituency. I totally believed it and loved it."
Nancy Weber, The New York Times Book Review
"Golf in the Kingdom is a fascination . . . [Murphy has] put a lot of fine thoughts together here, most gracefully, and the book should have a long and prosperous life."
Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces
"Golf a mere game? A mirror of life? Something metaphysical and/or mystical? All of the above? Shivas Irons, a magical Scottish golf professional, puts those questions to all of us. Superb."
Joseph Campbell, author of The Hero with a Thousand Faces
