This story delves into the transformative power of golf and reveals a unique and unforgettable approach to the game.

"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."

"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."
