Summary: A Hole In One!
Review: I listened (more than once) to the very well read audio tapes while traveling. You must pay attention the detail is superb.As a golfer for 46 years and earning three letters at Indiana University, I can attest that golf can teach a great deal about life, pursuing happiness, developing patience and spiritual growth if you go beyond your score. Especially as you take the competition out of golf can you realize what this game has to offer and how you can grow as a person from it. Peck designs a wonderful exotic golf course with all the hazards and obstacles similar to which you find in life. He provides great analogies, excellent knowledge of the game which can help someone unfamiliar with the sport, and makes it all very interesting. The tapes are excellent because you can go back again and again, each time gaining new insights to golf and yourself. A great companion reader to Golf and the Spirit tapes is Pecks book, "The Road Less Traveled." Happy reading and Spiritual growth.

Summary: Enjoyed very much
Review: I'm a long time fan of Dr. Peck's books and also a golfer. I was so pleased to see he had written this book and enjoyed it very much. Hate to see all the negative reviews, it's just an fun and inspiring book.

Summary: Peck makes the cut
Review: If you like Peck and like to play golf, this book is a tap in birdie. More about life and golf as spiritual journeys than about technical golf, Peck connects golf (life condensed) and our spiritual side. Very readable and humorous at times with basic practical tips for golf and life woven in throughout the round. It may inspire you to approach your next round differently and possible apply some of the ideas to your non-golf life. Great book for spiritually alive golfers.

Summary: A writer should at least understand his subject
Review: It is quite apparent that Dr. Peck chose a subject that he is clearly not qualified to write about. I'm not really sure who he is trying to target with this book. If you understand anything about golf you will be bored with his lengthy details of golf terms and basic forms of play. If you are a beginner you will get into trouble if believe that his interpretations of the rules of golf and golf etiquette to be correct. Dr. Peck is quick to point out that after spending over 30 years as an avid golfer he is a terrible player. Part of why he is so bad is that he never bothered to learn the game. Now he thinks he is qualified to write a book about it. There are more great books about golf than any one person could ever read, but this is one that never should have been published.

Summary: Golf?
Review: Lighten up critics. This is not a book about golf. Just a book about using the GAME of golf as part of your life journey. You may not learn how to play golf, but let Peck teach you something else.

Summary: Very slow play.
Review: M. Scott takes forever to get to the point in this one. Jeez, M.Scott the group behind us wants to play through. Pick up the pace buddy or pick up the ball. This is NOT a golf book and I feel somewhat cheated by the author and publisher for foisting this on me.

Summary: A Golfer's Disappointment.
Review: My wife thought I should learn this language and she knows I love golf. There is nothing here for the golfer. I've come to terms with all that he deals with and found this book to be a disappointment. Perhaps there is something here for the spititualist...but I think I'm a very evolved person..at 62. I'd like Scott Peck's e-mail address so that I could tell him of my unique solutions to the various problems he brings up through the metaphor of golf. I play my own course every week...no problems!

Summary: Pretentious, poorly written nonsense. What a waste.
Review: The topic of Spirituality and Golf screams for a better book than this one. Peck has chosen to waste the opportunity on trying to impress readers with, I don't know, something about paradoxes and how damn smart he is. I found no spiritual insight in the book, and certainly learned nothing about golf. Given the title, I would say Peck whiffed. You're still away, Peck.

Summary: If you like Scott Peck, you'll love this book!
Review: This is another outstanding Scott Peck book! If you like the type of subjects Peck has dealt with in past books, you'll love this book. He has a wonderful way of integrating the secular aspects of golf with the spiritual and emotional aspects of life. It was inspirational in the sense that it caused me to look upward for help. It was painful in the sense that it caused me to look more closely at my life. I love how Peck integrates his own personal biography so well into his books. I can identify with his struggles and his hope.
