Player's Progress demonstrates great vision, creativity and writing ability, not to mention in-depth knowledge of all aspects of golf and the Christian faith. This is an amazing compendium on both subjects that rivals Pilgrim's Progress on that score. Lots of great insight! The only word that comes to mind is, “Wow!”
Tim Philpot takes his 3 passions, golf, his wife and the Bible and intertwines them in remarkable story. You will feel like you are playing these unique and beautiful courses and with each hole comes a life lesson. Take your time as you are reading and don’t be surprised if you come out a better golfer and a better person.
Only read this book if you: want to have more wisdom; have ever experienced loss; love golf (was that redundant?); or need an excuse to visit Scotland.
Player’s Progress is not just about a man named Player, it’s about all of us who are trying to navigate the course of life and enjoy laughter and learning along the way. For those who have made golf part of that journey there are some special treats, but for everyone this is good reading and great fun.
Tim Philpot is a superb connoisseur of things golf, Scottish, and biblical. In this amazing novel he has updated Bunyon’s Pilgrim’s Progress combining facts about historical golf personalities, courses and happenings with creatively designed fictional personalities, events and biblical truths in this most thought-provoking allegorical literary epic set in northern Scotland. This is an entertaining must read for all golf enthusiasts who are serious about the game and are open to spiritual inspiration, insight, correction and growth. After reading this you will never again see golf and the rest of the game of life quite the same!
