Captivating story

I am not a golfer, and I am not interested in the game. However, I found this story interesting and well-told. The story includes so many recognizable elements of current or recent world events and characters, making it easy to apply yourself to the story and feel like it's genuine. While the ending is exciting, I felt like I fell off the cliff before I realized it was there. Very abrupt. All in all, I recommend this story to anyone, and I'm sure that all golfers will particularly like it.

This is a one sitter--can't put it down

I am a golfer and the book is intriquing from that perspective because it captures the thrills and challenge of the game in the best manner I have ever read. But this just the first of many levels that makes this an altogether exciting reading experience. There is an interplay of the drug trade, Wall Street, politics at Presidential heights and even an extraterestrial presense that is pulled together in a way that is credible. Hard to believe but read it and you will see for yourself.

Golf & Politics a clever mix

I thought the book was both entertaining and insightful. The Golf stories painted an interesting picture of gambling & hustling contrasted with the integrity and honor of competitive golf. The political messages are shocking but well within reason in today's "perception is reality" political landscape. I was riveted and read the book in two sittings.

For a non-golfer...

...I was given the book by a friend who felt sure I would like it, even though I don't play golf. I have only one real comment. I wished the book was longer! I would certainly look for a sequel.

The President takes too many mulligans.

Being a golf enthusiast and also someone who is very concerned about too much government control in Washington, this book was a big hit with me. I think the author sends an important message to a lot of people.
