The Legend of Bagger Vance : A Novel of Golf and the Game of Life

Rating:
Summary: A phenomenal novel on golf and life!
Review: This is one of the finest books I have ever read! The author does an outstanding job of integrating the mental, metaphysical, and human aspects of both the game of golf and life itself into this book. If you are a golfer with a spiritual and/or metaphysical side this is a must read! If you liked Golf in the Kingdom, you will absolutely love this book!

Rating:
Summary: Too much New age metaphysical corn
Review: If you are a golfer who read (and could not put down) "The Celestine Prophecy" then this is the book for you. So pop the John Tesh World Tour CD into your stereo and enjoy yourself. On the other hand if new age metaphysics is not for you then I suggest you skip this book entirely. The good golf fiction that it does contain is not worth the metaphysical corn that is so abundant throughout the book.

Summary: Captures the essence of life and the essence of golf!
Review: Bagger Vance, African-American, god-like guide to life and golf, challenges us to see God as black, life's challenges as musts, and golf as the analogy that links it all together. Golfers, like Tiger Woods, are judged on who they are, what they become, not their skin color. So it is with Bagger, who is the Lord of our lives, who loves us unconditionally, and who helps Rannulph Junah discover the secret of golf and the secret of life all at the same time. Soon to become a movie, this tale, that will star Robert Redford, is truly golf's "Natural." Golfers (like myself) and non golfers (like my wife)will be moved by the eternal teachings and truths taught by Bagger and Steven Pressfield's story. We should all be thankful to Steven Pressfield for his vision and caring.

Summary: Excellent read
Review: This is a very entertaining book. If you like this one, you have got to read "Follow the Wind" by Bo Links. It's available through Amazon.

Summary: Golf and the meaning of life -- grippingly told
Review: A great golf story on it's own, but it's true impact results from the lessons of Bagger Vance, one of humankind's gifts from God. You must 'play' (similar to the Bible story of using your talents). You can't "opt out" of life.

Rating:
Summary: A magical experience!
Review: This story will take you through the highs and lows of finding your 'authentic swing'.A must for any golfer who strives for that perfect shot.A magical story about the greatest game.

Rating:
Summary: An instant classic!!
Review: Bagger Vance is as good as, possibly better than, Golf in the Kingdom. A beautifully constructed story of lost hope and found inner peace woven with a tale of Hagan and Jones written so acutely that you'll swear actually happened. Coincidentally, I bought this book in Atlanta, and read it during a drive back from Savannah to the ATL. Talk about having the ambiance laid out for you! A must-read for lovers of golf fiction.

Rating:
Summary: One of the most spiritually uplifting novels ever written
Review: This book was absolutely phenomenal. Never have I read a book, regardless of subject, that left me so simultaneously emotionally drained and spiritually uplifted. The author does a simply amazing job of leading the reader on a completely unpredictable journey of self discovery, personal enlightenment, and wonderous exploration of the "Authentic Swing". A must read!!
