I told her I’d be happy to since I knew him by reputation. Five years ago I got a call from a publicist (whose name and email I no longer have) asking me if I’d review a copy of a new book by Cook. The reason: the insight of author and PhD. Look a bit like Bagger Vance? It might, but forget it. Haven’t heard about Seven Days in Utopia yet? Check out the trailer: While I’ll have to wait a couple more weeks to see if that prediction has merit the early previews give you a sense this flick has promise.

I’m willing to bet Seven Days in Utopia becomes not only the best golf movie ever done but one with crossover appeal to those who could care less about the game. Not only is the Francis Ouimet story one of golf’s most engaging true tales, but the movie features Stephen Dillane’s brilliant portrayal of six-time British Open champion Harry Vardon - for my money the single best performance ever by an actor in a golf movie, with all due respect to Bill Murray as Carl Spackler. Personally I’m a huge fan of The Greatest Game Ever Played. Open final-hole debacle (and/or Rene Russo swinging a golf club in a tight skirt), and those who can’t get enough of the Bob Barker/Adam Sandler fight scene in Happy Gilmore (partly filmed, by the way, at Furry Creek GC in Vancouver). You probably know people who can recite every spoken scene in Caddyshack, watch Tin Cup JUST to see Kevin Costner’s U.S.

That is not to suggest golf is without its movie-based cult followers. The world premiere screening of Seven Days in Utopia, the movie adaptation of David Cook’s book, Golf’s Sacred Journey, pushes the Hollywood spotlight back on a game that’s more universally chastised than widely praised for its attempts to impress critics. Golf returned to the silver screen Monday night.
