In the Depression year of 1931, on the golf links at Krewe Island off Savannah's windswept shore, two legends of the game, Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen, meet for a mesmerizing thirty-six-hole showdown. Another golfer will also compete--a troubled local war hero, once a champion, who comes with his mentor and caddie, the mysterious Bagger Vance. Sage and charismatic, it is Vance who will ultimately guide the match, for he holds the secret of the Authentic Swing. And he alone can show his protégé the way back to glory.

"'Good stuff...a philosophical fantasy imagined on a golf course, heavy with fog, storm, fireworks and the howling winds of supernatural forces'" (New York Times Book Review)
"'Golf and mysticism...a dazzler and a thought-provoker'" (Los Angeles Times)
"'A marvellous, life-affirming book'" (Mark McCormack Sports Illustrated)
"'Memorable...a page-turner...golf played a foot or so from Alice's looking glass, with mystical realms poised to engulf the reader at every turn'"
A gem of a book that golfers will read for decades to come
Next year will mark my 50th year in book publishing. There have been only a few times when a manuscript arrived on my desk which seemed compellingly unique and truly magic. THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE by Steven Pressfield was one of those rare occasions. There was something about this story that whispered to me it had a chance to become a little classic. Now that the book has been published I am happy to say that is just what's happening. I've never had so many unsolicited passionately enthusiastic comments for a book. I believe the reason is that this singular story teaches that in life as well as in golf the real contest is within oneself. Please read it yourself and you'll see what I mean.
