I’d watch this again
If you don’t get golf, this movie may not work for you. But if you’ve done enough golf to realize it for the mental game it is, then this movie will speak to you. But if you’ve played golf and also done any meditative eastern religion practice, then you’ll *really* like this movie. I was recommended this movie by someone who decided to look into meditative/buddhist practices as a result of this movie. Having seen it now, I can see why.

Read the book 1st
Visually beautiful. Good actors. Would be difficult to follow if you had not read the book.

Great movie!
Plays perfect, came in new packaging as described. Definitely recommend reading the book before watching the film.

True Gravity without definition!🏌🏌🏌🏌🏌
Well the script writer forget the most important point of the book / Michael’s purpose:True Gravity is the ability to “see” the lines of gravity, whether on the green or on the fairway.Without explaining/showing what True Gravity means, the movie is just another random movie on the origins of golf – at a very modest level.With graphic capabilities of what they are today, it is a shame Murphy’s book was misinterpreted.

Disappointed.
If you treasure the book, as I do, you’ll want to see the movie, but go in with low expectations. Frankly, don’t even bother. They missed the point and, for me, the casting is all wrong. Michael comes off as childish and petulant, instead of emotional and thoughtful. Shivas is portrayed as a swaggering, twisted lout, not the larger than life, deeply intellectual Zen-masterof the links that is portrayed in the book. Too much Charles Bronson, not enough Yoda. I wanted to love it, but couldn’t. Sorry. Two stars only because most of the golf swings at least looked like real golf swings.

Another Golf movie?
Well, where to start with? Having read the book by M.Murphy long time ago, been in Scotland for many times… It seemed to me almost impossible to bring the book onto a screen, but, the spirit of the book and of the game is sensible, the pictures awesome, even not screened in Scotland (you will know when you’ve been there). Why not 5 Stars? Too much has been left out of the content, which is important to my understanding. Too many scenes, which seem to be neglectable, because merely used for atmosphere. But at the end I am happy to have a piece of the Inner Game of Golf, as it could be, the mystical part of it. And I belief there is something like that despite the huge money game, which Golf has become nowadays.So, can’t effort to travel to the Kingdom? Sit back, relax, have a good dram and enjoy…. Maybe you are keen to go out for a round afterwords – during moonlight.

Golf in the Kingdom
Did not like this movie. Watched it for a brief short time. Did not make any sense to me. Would not recommend this to anyone. Worse purchase I have ever bought. Sorry that I had to lose money on returning it when the product wasn’t what you wanted and that was to enjoy a good golf movie.

やっと見つけた。今まで検索の仕方がよくなかったのかもしれませんが、諦めておりました。ずっと以前に本で読んで、数年前にはこの本の舞台であるSt Andrewsまで出かけて、Crailでプレイをさせていただきました。それらの記憶がこのビデオを見て蘇ってきました。
Shivas fan –
I was disappointed with this movie, having read the book many many times. The characters did not seem to be true, the story jumped around too much. I kind of wish I had not seen it. Now the pictures in my mind whenever I pick up the book will be altered.
