A night of adventure and revelation follows, and leads to a glimpse of Seamus MacDuff, the holy man who haunts a ravine off Burningbush's thirteenth fairway-the one they call Lucifer's Rug.

The phrase "must read" is overused. Any book that a person likes automatically becomes a "must read" because they secretly wish that everyone was like them. However, whether you are a competitive golfer, appreciate new agey or mystical stuff, or are just trying to figure things out in your own life, Michael Murphy's classic deserves to be on your short list . Any golfer or person trying to understand golfers and the game will appreciate this treatise on such subjects as the inner self and gravity golf. If you have not read this book yet but consider yourself a golfer, you'd better have a good excuse.
