“Itu0026#39;s always risky to make a book into a movie, and usually the flick doesnu0026#39;t live up to the tome, primarily because great literature explores the internal whereas film concerns itself with the exterior. Riskier still when the book is category-killing classic such as Golf In The Kingdom.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis film, however, gets it–beyond faithful to the feel, the spirit, and the mystery of the novel. Impeccable direction, inspired acting, and brilliant cinematography. A must see for any aficionado of Murphyu0026#39;s eternal gift to golf literature, not to mention any golfer who has ever played or dreamed of playing on Americau0026#39;s only true-to-Scottish links course. I shanu0026#39;t spoil it by naming the location. Youu0026#39;ll youu0026#39;ll just have to stay through the credits.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo the Producer/Distributor: please, PLEASE get the DVD out soon, because I want to see it again and again, and Iu0026#39;m running out of airfare.”
