Book Overview
Welcome to The Club -- Golf's Valhalla -- where all that's necessary for admission is an intense love of the game. Here you'll watch the greatest players replay their victories...and their defeats...as they search for golf's hidden and seemingly inaccessible meaning. Like W.P. Kinsella's Shoeless Joe -- the basis for the movie Field of Dreams -- Follow the Wind is sports fantasy at its finest and most poignant. A young man following an errant shot into the woods emerges on a totally unfamiliar golf course. The first person he encounters is the legendary Ben Hogan, feverishly practicing for something special. As Links weaves his tale, introducing such golfing greats as Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones, Alister MacKenzie, and the famous nineteenth century Scottish champions Old and Young Tom Morris, he recreates the most momentous events in golfing history and captures the magic that has lured millions to the fairway. For fans of Harvey Penick's books and for everyone who has searched for inspiration on the golf course, Follow the Wind offers the satisfaction of a perfect shot that soars for the flagstick.

Mr. Links (great name) captures the spirit of the game of golf in this easy read. His historic knowledge of golf's greatest players as well as his personal understanding of the dreams of every weekend golfer make this a "must read" for any golf lover.
A fantasy rich with tradition.

Bo's fantasy leads you through a magical kingdom of golf. You are placed in an environment rich with golf history and tradition-a golfer's paradise! His knowledge of golf's history is both educational and impressive. Bo's story is a lot like golf itself, it is tough to put down and walk away from.
This is a must read.

This book is sort of like the "Field of Dreams" for golf. It is a great history lesson, as well as just sheer entertainment. A wonderful way to learn about the greatest names in golf.
Great read!

This book is extremely entertaining! I hope Mr. Links decides to write a sequel or another fantasy about golf
