A short story followed by a lazy amalgamation of 1-2 page mini half-baked essays and, in one case, a list of a hundred people. What? Writers pull that together. Tell me it is reflective of the separateness of our world, fine, I call it one star effort.
Admittedly my expectations were very high, particularly for those who claim to be pursuing such mental, universal, spiritual wholeness; but the first part of the book was 2-3 stars, the second was zero stars if not negative. It felt like a series of random mediations, but here of the ADHD type that lasts a page or two before being distracted by some other thought and then distracted again.

Does not move me as it has so many others. But if you enjoy the game it is a book worth your while.

1/3 story about a dream round of golf, 1/3 guys talking about golf...that is guys being guys (this is the best part of the book), and 1/3 philosophy. It was a little different, I liked it.

I’ve heard of this book for years. Maybe I waited too long to dive in but ... wow, it’s not good. Lots of psychobabble and hippie-dippy nonsense and not a lot of story or even much golf. A disappointment.

18 holes of golf as a cycle of birth and rebirth. Michael Murphy's fantastical odyssey across the links of Burning Bush Country Club under the mentorship of Seamus Irons. If you're a golfer (I'm not) or a mystic, you should read this book!
