Review
"'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'"
From the Publisher
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.
