Searching in St. Andrews: Finding the Meaning of Golf During the Game's Most Turbulent Summer

Great Storytelling
This was a really enjoyable read. In particular, the storytelling of the people he met during his summer in Scotland (some of whom were just regular people, not all part of the golf circuit) had me wishing that I made more out of the everyday experiences I have with others. Everyone has an interesting background or story to tell if you are just willing to listen. I personally do not follow professional golf closely, but I found Sean's story entertaining and engaging throughout. I learned a lot from Sean's insider perspective on the dynamics behind the PGA / LIV as everything burst into the open that summer. I would recommend this book for anyone, whether you are a golf aficionado or not.

Golfer's Dream
Loved it. Much in the same vein as Sojourn in Scotland, To The Linksland and American Caddie in St. Andrews. Leaves you scheming how to spend your summer in St. Andrews.

Great storytelling and lots of heart
Fantastic book. The storytelling is phenomenal and the book has tons of heart. As a major golf nerd myself I enjoyed all of the inside information about players, tours, etc. Sean is a great writer and this book is a must-read for all serious (and maybe not so serious) golf fans.

A great book about life, golf and Scotland!
This book is a wonderful read and author Sean Zak does a great job of taking you along on his 90-day journey in and around Scotland. This is not a just a “golf” book, but a well-crafted story of his experiences with the local people, customs and culture combined with solid reporting of the state of the golf world as well. I’m a “behind the scenes” junkie and Sean captures the interactions, quotes and storytelling of the players, caddies and so many others beautifully. I highly recommend this book!
