This profound book is not really about golf; it is about life.
I purchased this book and read it at the suggestion of a good friend, despite knowing absolutely nothing about golf. It reads surprisingly like an autobiography, yet it is a novel whose author had a very poignant agenda in writing. The story unfolds by a pro-golfer who earns the distinction of the hightest score in a professional tournament. Needing to refocus his game and skills he take a week out to do so at a small golf course in Utopia, Texas. There he meets a coach that helped him find his game again, probably better than before his embarrassing tragedy. Each day was full of completely different experience that helps him transform not only his golf game but his priorities and life. I could not put this short book down.

great book
It was a great book for golfers or just any person needing a direction in life. The skills taught are what we need in today's world. If you take all of those and put them to work you can be successful but in the end it is the true question you must answer. Are you really happy iwthout him in your life

I Also Recommend:
Not what I was expecting
I found the style of the story was very hurried, and the author had not taken the time to flesh out the events leading to the crash and burn of the main character and why it was such a major event in his life, which to me made it somewhat unbelieveable.

I was not expecting the ending as I had not realised that this was a religious book, and kept thinking 'something has to happen soon', which, to be fair it did, but as I thought this was a novel I was expecting something different.
It is not a badly written book and a very easy read and it's main message is very valid if you are a follower of religion or not.
So if you want inspiration in how to view life then this is a good read. -

Highly Recommend
For the Golfer and Christian, or for those struggling with their self worth, this book is a must read. It's quick but can be used as a reference over and over again.

Highly recommended!!!!
AWESOME book-I couldn't put it down! MUCH, MUCH better than the movie which I just saw and was not that impressed with. The movie left out a lot of the really neat instruction-advice Johnny gave out. Book is also very easy to read. I think any golfer, any person of faith and just anyone in general who likes stories about personal motivation that aren't preachy but just a good story told will like this book.

Outstanding read about understanding the golf players inner journey!
This book is compelling in that it brings back joyful memories of my personal journey with golf. It reminds one of the work necessary to achieve some measure of success playing the game but captures the ultimate purpose in life regarding developing a spiritual relationship with the creator.

Great Book,Very Inspirational Golf Story
I found the book to be very inspirational the way it deals with the mental aspects of the game of golf. It also teaches some very good lessons for everyday life. If you're a golfer, and have at one time (or always) struggled with the mental side of your golf game this book really hits home. And in the end, it's still just a game!
