Golf in the Kingdom
"...for golf’s soul surfers, Golf in the Kingdom is holy scripture." Golf
A spiritual journey, a lush travelogue, a parable of sports and philosophy—John Updike called this unique novel “a golf classic if any exists in our day.”
Now for the 50th anniversary, a beautiful new design and an introduction from Michael Murphy himself
Paired with a mysterious teacher named Shivas Irons, Michael Murphy is led through a round of phenomenal golf, swept into a world where extraordinary powers are unleashed in a backswing governed by “true gravity.” A night of adventure and revelation follows, and leads to a glimpse of Seamus MacDuff, the holy man who haunts a ravine off Burningbush’s thirteenth fairway—the one they call Lucifer’s Rug.
“A masterpiece on the mysticism of golf.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“A fascination . . . Golf in the Kingdom should have a long and prosperous life.” —Joseph Campbell
