Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-12 00:00:00 Lance Vestal I've read many many golf books, at the time I pretty much read all I could lay my hands on with none of them really standing out, except this one. besides being a good story, there is real value in the book. It's been a long time since I read it, so don't remember the details specifically, but do remember it impacted me at the time and made a difference. how exactly I cannot say, other than perhaps connecting to a predilection of mine, which is to come at matters from an abstract perspective, to go deeper, and look beyond the obvious. This marvellous read does just exactly that. *Gravity Golf* - need I say more?

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-16 00:00:00 Peter Hambling Hallelujah! I finished this book! I surprised myself that I didn�t abandon it (like I wanted to and maybe should have). My excitement is due only to the fact that it�s over � finally! After dragging myself through the lackluster first half I didn�t think I could stand to complete the agonizing final half, but somehow I made it. Yes, there are many wonderful reviews of this alleged golf journey � this book is a journey alright � all telling me how much richer my life would be for having experienced �Golf in the Kingdom�. I have to wonder what those readers were looking for and what this book possibly helped them find. Maybe this book should be considered a novel, but after reading it, I hesitate to call it that. If you were trying to find a dissertation from academia to support metaphysical teachings from India centered on everything from the �inner self� to the occult; if you�d enjoy suspecting that the doctoral candidate author came to his premise in a Scottish golf experience, you came to the right place. If readers are looking for a �spiritual journey into the world of golf� as attributed to this book in its description, I respectfully suggest you read �Gabriel�s Creek�. I am extremely biased, but believe that novel to be a better read, a more impactful and inspiring story � by far � than is �Golf in the Kingdom�. If you are the Everyman that many golfers are, I�ll bet you�ll enjoy the absence of metaphysics in �Gabriel�s Creek�. I should say that I felt compelled to keep this book up to at least 2-stars, because the last terrible book I read I rated 2-stars. Now I�m wondering what made me rate that book in my past so high.
