Golf in the Kingdom by Michael Murphy


Instantly hailed as classic, Golf in the Kingdom is an extraordinary confluence of fiction, philosophy, myth, mysticism, and golf instruction. The central character is the bawdy Scotsman Shivas Irons whom Murphy meets in 1956 on the links of Burningbush in Fife.

The story of their round of golf ends in a wild night of whiskey and wisdom, where, as Shivas demonstrates how the swing reflects the soul, the game finally takes on a metaphysical glow. The events of the day change not only Murphy’s game, but also radically alter his mind and inner vision. Amazon.com
