Just watched the movie "The Greatest Game Ever Played" and it was a super fine show. Didn't realize what that kid did for golf in this country. He jump-started the game here in America like no other. Beating Varden and Ray was one of the biggest upsets of all time. Super flick!

Golf is not a game, it's a way of life!

And yet... yes, the book is better.

I read the book first, and thought it was fantastic. The movie was a little dissapointing as a character study.

If the movie was a disappointment then I guess I better read the book. It must be good cause I enjoyed the movie alot. I thought Bagger Vance was somewhat better than this show but I was impressed with it. I wonder if Amazon has the book and is it the same title?
