I don't think you've read the book...?

That would be correct, never even heard of the book. Is it a good book?

Buy, borrow or steal book. Read book. Make up jshots's mind about book.

I've got a bad feeling about this adaptation. The director's previous credits don't exactly fill one with confidence -- Female Perversions and The Summer Of My Deflowering? And WTF is George Stephanopolous executive producing?

I haven't read the book (I will at some stage) but that trailer looked very....unusual. A film about golf can only be a good thing though

I have read the book and I liked the first half.  I think a lot of dope was smoked during the writing of the book.

The first half is about a guy who is on his way to study in India and has to pass through London, so he decides to take a detour and spend a few days golfing in Scotland.  He meets a course pro named Shivas Irons during a round of golf.  As the round progresses Shivas imparts much wisdom and knowledge to the guy about golf and life.  After the round the guy is invited to dinner with Shivas and some friends where more philosophy, religion, and "the way things are" are talked about, all of it is related back to golf in some way.

I thought that part of the book was great and very interesting.  The second half of the book seems to be filler to me.  Just random topics on Shivas' ideas etc.  I did not even finish this part of the book as I got bored.

I would recommend the first half of the book to anyone.  From the trailer it looks like the movie covers that part of the book.  I will check out the movie as well.
