Product Description:
In the Depression year of 1931, on the golf links at Krewe Island off Savannah's windswept shore, two legends of the game--Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen--meet for a mesmerizing thirty-six-hole showdown. Another golfer will also compete--a troubled local war hero, once a champion, who comes with his mentor and caddie, the mysterious Bagger Vance. It is Vance, sage and charismatic, who will ultimately guide the match, for he holds the secret of the Authentic Swing. And he alone can show his protege the way back to glory.
Written in the spirit of Gold in the Kingdom and The Natural, The Legend of Bagger Vance reveals the true nature of the game in a story that is unforgettable.

I am a huge fan of the movie version of The Legend of Bagger Vance. It works as a great sports story, nice character piece, and a heartfelt drama. So after a few years, I worked my way to reading the novel that the movie was based on.

This book was absolutely astonishing. The explosive visualizations that it induces and the heart pounding, page turning dialogue make you want to read the whole thing in one sitting. The mystery in the characters is so awesome. The messages are very real and do apply. Read this book, it WILL become one of your favorites.

You'll get the most out of this story if you play golf. If you've watched golf then you'll get something out of it. This story revolves around a game between the two best players in the 30's and a local hero. Golf is a metaphor for life and the story is told brilliantly. Highly recommend.

Very inspirational and motivational. I couldn't put it down, it affected my thinking, made me cry at the end. What more can you ask of a good book? Highly recommend for Teen golfers.

This book is on the shelf in my classroom. I hadn't read it yet and was discussing it with one of my students who was looking for something to read. I had suggested it to him since he is a fan of many sports. He said he'd already read it. I told him I had not, since I am not a fan of golf. He looked at me like I was a small, silly child and said, 'It's not about golf.'
At that moment, I determined to read this book. So, this was my first free choice of a book this summer and I enjoyed it. ... Read More
