When a young man en route to India stops in Scotland to play at the legendary Burningbush golf club, his life is transformed. Paired with a mysterious teacher named Shivas Irons, he is led through a round of phenomenal golf, swept into a world where extraordinary powers are unleashed in a backswing governed by “true gravity.” 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. “A masterpiece on the mysticism of golf” -San Francisco Chronicle “A fascination… Golf in the Kingdom should have a long and prosperous life.” -Joseph Campbell
