A masterpiece of golf prose
Player’s Progress is a masterpiece of golf prose. After reading it, you will want to catch the first plane to Inverness and head north to discover the majesty of Royal Dornoch and the enchanting paradise of surrounding golf courses. You may even bump into a few of the characters like Mrs. Doubter or Mr. Niblick, and maybe catch a glimpse of Ben Hogan himself! It’s an amazing blend of golf history and mystical golf characters who gather on the pages of the book.

Brilliant, fun and important book
The wait has been worth it
Links Players has been waiting a long time for Tim Philpot to complete his journey with the multitude of great characters found in Player’s Progress. And the wait has been worth it. You will enjoy the scenic journey through the highlands of Scotland and the Orkney Islands. But even better, you will discover another journey of the heart, through scripture and great minds of the past, all in search for the wisdom that God wants for us all.
Speaking for all the Links Players family and fellowships, we hope that you will find the treasure that is found hidden in Jesus Christ. This book will help you do just that.

A sporting, 21st century journey in faith
The humor is subtle and blended with great truth
Links the greatest sport in the world with the Creator Himself
I met Tim Philpot on the first tee of the Old Course over thirty years ago. That day we prayed for Scotland. This book is an answer to those early prayers, linking the greatest sport in the world with the Creator Himself. Tim's book is about the journey of finding your true self in God. Read it and you may find your way too.

You will remember this beautiful story forever
Player’s Progress is an instant classic. I love reading good books, especially when you are inspired and remember the lessons being taught.
This is a story of second chances which will especially connect with serious golfers. Tim is one of the few living authors I enjoy reading. You will remember this beautiful story forever.

An entertaining golf journey of eighteen holes and more
Rich with colorful characters and insights
On an obscure golf course in the Orkney Islands, the mysteries of golf, faith, and the wisdom of the ages converge. For one golfer in desperate need of a clean scorecard in life – and maybe even for the reader — it's a life-changing journey of discovery and redemption.
The allegory of Player's Progress is rich with colorful characters, meaning, and insights for every reader, golf enthusiast or not. Bunyan would be proud.

It will quite possibly leave you both a better human and a better golfer
Tim Philpot has taken his two loves, golf and Godly wisdom, and spun them into a mythical yarn that will delight your soul, dazzle your senses, and quite possibly leave you both a better human and a better golfer. Player’s Progress has unique twists and turns on every page. You won’t be able to put it down.

Fiction filled with rock-solid truth
Player’s Progress is fiction but filled with rock-solid truth. A cast of Biblical characters and golf luminaries either help or hinder the progress of the two main pilgrims, Lucas and ProV, on their walk through eighteen holes and more. The book is patterned after The Pilgrim’s Progress, but with an entirely fresh and appealing approach. I think Bunyan would appreciate it.
