“…'Did you find a trainer?' inquired Mr. Kinnear. Mr. Freeman said that he had, but that he only finds it helpful to use him once a week.
‘I’ve always been the kind of person who gets more from books,’ (Morgan) said. ‘I’ve just come off Seven Days at the Links of Utopia’—the subtitle of the David L. Cooks tome Golf’s Sacred Journey."

“I have just finished reading the book for the second time. I must admit it is one of the best golf books that I have ever read. I have used the SFT on the course since reading the book the first time. I recieved my ball markers the other day and my grandmother is knitting me a head cover with the SFT on it. It has helped my golf game and realizing that my score is not a reflection of who I am...”
Michael Staley,
Reader
“What a wonderful book. I was given a copy and read it during a hyperbaric treatment. I truly saw myself within many pages of the book. The 1st round that I played (yesterday) after reading the book (I look forward to re-reading it more than once), I truly had one of my most enjoyable days on the course that I can remember! I was so into what I wanted to do with each shot (SFT), and let the misses (physical & mental) float away. I also have been a better person in my daily life, dealing with life’s shanks in a much better manner. I am sending these 10 books to very special people, whom I know will also see the messages of the story!”
Don Barcome Jr,
Reader
“If you are worried about where the ball might go or what your scores might be then you are thinking what all unsuccessful golfers are thinking about. I would like to recommend a book to you, Golf’s Sacred Journey by Dr. David Cook. It is the best book.”
Jim Hardy,
PGA National Teacher of the Year
“Awesome message! I have passed the sign at the fork in the road many times and now look at it in a different way. I am purchasing these books to pass along to friends and strangers I meet along life’s journey.”

"One of my students brough me David's books last week. I couldn't believe it. I first met David at a PGA Seminar a million years ago...I was so moved by Golf's Sacred Journey........I've got to have more and use them in my schools and private lessons."
Sue Kaffenburgh,

New England PGA Teacher of the Year, 2000
"My son Mark (an outstanding golfer), gave me this book to read on a recent vacation. I generally don't read books--never have--just a problem with me. He seemed so sincere about me reading it--I gave in. I read this book in 3 hours non-stop. I was captivated--it just grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Some great golf tips, although not your usual approach to lessons, and some wonderful storytelling. It gives a different perspective to the game of golf and then finishes with truth about life."
Larry Wallace,
Senior VP
The United Methodist Publishing House
"David--just wanted to let you know what a blessing that Golf's Sacred Journey has been for me. It has provided the "perfect" tool for creating meaningful conversations with my friends who share a love for golf, but haven't found the source for the greatest joy. After reading your book and hearing your talk, I was quickly able to make a list of 10 guys who I am in the process of putting the book in their hands and trusting God with what He is going to do with it.....thanks for your ministry and hope our paths cross someday."
Reader
"This is an inspirational book. I am a born again Christian since 2005 and a life long golfer. This book reinforces the word of God and that we should follow Chirst throughout our life. I have a 10 year old who is very much into golf and I hope he can define his life by his significance and not his golf score. It has taken me 39 years to figure that one out and I still fall into that trap from time to time. Thank you for reinforcing the path that our boats need to follow!"
Paul Talledo,
Reader
"I have been coming to Utopia for 28 years and know all of the places mentioned in the book. Great book. I have a list of guys who I am sending it to. Most of my friends don't believe there is a Utopia in Texas - now the book will put it on the map.

"You are a man blessed by God, and I want you to know what a difference you are making in my life. Your book, your message, your compassion, your faith and just YOU are contagious."

"I am a professor at the University of Sioux Falls. I am interested in having this book as a required reading in my Business Ethics class for the lessons it teaches. I have been with the University for nine years and have been looking for a book that teaches students the importance of God's plan in life over their own. I believe I have found it."

"I just finished the book while I was on vacation with my family. AWESOME!! Thanks for all you did to help our tournament, and our troops. Thanks for spreading the WORD through this wonderful book."

"I gained so much valuable insight from reading this book. I wish I would have known about it earlier. The in depth teachings in the book can teach a golfer of any level. It is without a doubt the most practical golf books I have ever read with an all important life lesson at the end. I will recommend it to everyone I know."

Cameron Grysen

"Great book! Thank you for taking the time to write it. My son played college golf and is going through the mini-tour process. I can certainly identify with the story. Moving from success driven to significance driven is exactly where I am in my life. Thank you for the wonderful read, the Bible based wisdom, and the opportunity to share your gift with others. God bless you and your ministry."

"I love the book. I think about the message(s) that I got out of the book many times a day. I am buying the additional copies to give to my co-workers, friends and family who are also golfers...I picked up my copy of the book at the Concan Country Club. I drove through Utopia to get there from San Antonio. My 12 year old son and I were on a golf vacation through central Texas...because of a very busy and hectic summer, I was on a quest to slow down and seek the truth...the book jumped right into my hand! Tell David and the Team, thank you!"
