Seven Days at the Links of Utopia

David L. Cook, PhD.

You never really know when you might meet someone who will change your life. Golf's Sacred Journey is a story about a "chance" meeting between a fictitious golf professional and his unorthodox mentor. As the story unfolds, we – along with the pro – learn lessons about golf and life that we never expected to learn in places we never expected to learn them.

"This book floored me..." writes NBA World Champion and MVP David Robinson. Bestselling author Max Lucado adds, "I read this book in one sitting. It stirred my heart."

"After reading Golf's Sacred Journey, I felt as if a weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. I began reading in hopes of finding the secret to lower scores. Instead, I found the secret to living a meaningful life," writes PGA Champion Shaun Micheel.

Why the excitement? Why are people ordering copies of this book by the boxful so they can give them away to their golfing friends?

Perhaps the biggest reason is this: The book taps into a need that all of us have but few of us understand – a need for significance. As one of the nation's leading peak performance coaches, Dr. David Cook has spent the last 25 years working with top professional athletes and corporate leaders, moving them forward in their career. But his passion goes beyond that. He is determined to move people from success to significance.

"The book takes people by surprise," writes reviewer Dwight Clough. "Even nongolfers will be moved by the powerful transformation that takes place in this story." In chapter one, the unnamed pro had lost his way. By the last chapter, he had found his game and much much more. By rediscovering a meaningful relationship with his Creator, this pro – and the reader – find an anchor for life itself.

Dr. Cook describes the book like this: "This book is about influence. It is about a man who lived in a simple place but had extraordinary insight. He also had something else on his side. He had time to invest himself in the life of another who was lost on his journey. They represent each of us in the various stages of growth. In life we must be willing to coach and be coached; either one alone will leave us empty."

Significance, transformation, mentoring, and relationship - Dr. Cook takes us beyond the golf course into a place of profound wisdom, handing us secrets for living a meaningful life.

No wonder top motivational expert Zig Ziglar gives this advice. Speaking of Golf's Sacred Journey, he writes, "Read it. Devour it. Keep it as a reference book. You'll be glad you did."
