The Legend Of Bagger Vance

Top 5 movie
I once cursorily watched this on a long haul flight (in between the drinks trolley and choice of chicken or beef) and I was like 'A movie about golf..OK'..but it's so not. It's a wondrous metaphor for life. Based on a story from the Hindu Bhaghavad Gita I didn't 'get it' till I watched it again a few years later and then I was 'How did I miss all this? It's a film about how to get yourself unstuck. Watch it with a relaxed open mind. If your life is a bit gnarly and you can't see the wood for the trees, watch this.

My favourite film of all time
My favourite film of all time. Now I can read the story at leisure. Unlike many books/films this one did deviate very much from the original. Loved it and highly recommended for everyone, golfers and non golfers alike. It has a moral story that goes beyond the golf course - essential reading I think

Lifts golf to a new level
As a new recruit to the ranks of golf, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It just gives a different view of the game of golf, or the game of life. Not sure which. The writing has the feel of Alistair Cooke about it. An easy, quick read that is well worth it.

BAGGER VANCE
Read the book - found it quite a bit different from the film version - must admit I preferred the film version much more

The book is great - based on the Hindu Bhagwat Gita - which should be better acknowldged in my opinion.The DVD version is a poor rendition of the book and misses the essence of the philosophical message.
