How lucky can an editor be? When legendary New Yorker editor William Shawn wanted a writer to review a book on golf, he could turn to novelist John Updike. Updike, a devoted golfer, was delighted to take on the assignment. That review of Michael Murphy's Golf In the Kingdom is contained -- along with essays from Golf Digest, The New York Times Book Review and other publications -- in Golf Dreams.

Just okay
I found these essays, “musings” by this noted author somewhat nondescript. Neither humourous nor poignant. Didn’t really work for me.

A terrific addition to anyone’s golf library
Updike writes about golf’s mysteries and travails from an everyman’s point-of-view, but with a delicious turn of phrase which we all wish we could wax when recounting our games…

A Horror Anthology?
I find it interesting that this book was included in the selection of Horror Anthologies.Given the way I feel about golf, it was all too appropriate!

Very entertaining
Updike’s compilation is a pleasure to read. Terrific essays especially. There is a strong bond between all obsessed golfers. You will certainly laugh aloud.
