Following the weather forecast for the weekend and looking for some advice in preparation, I stumbled over the nice video How To Play Golf In The Rain by Rickard Strongert. He also suggests reading Michael Murphy's Golf in the Kingdom written in 1972.
Now very curious and impatient for the book to be shipped, I tried to find information on the web regarding the novel. It turns out to be one of most important pieces of golf literature!?
First I found some impressive testimonials and that there is a movie in post production, already. I have very bad experiences with things transgressing the pop culture threshold value, namely a feature film. Still, I continued looking for information.
I found this video of an interview at Charlie Rose from 1998 where he introduces the sequel The Kingdom of Shivas Irons, published 25 years later. Here a similar interview from 2006 in which he makes the same point in more detail, which again contrasts the know-it-all/peak performance approach of sports psychologists like Bob Rotella. He also talks about people interested in the movie rights, but without an idea of realization.
I am really looking forward to read the book. This song somehow felt related ;)
