NorthoftheBorder Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 New golf movie out at Tinseltown in Beaumont starring Robert Duval called 7 Days in Utopia Texas. It is based on the book "Golfs Sacred Journey" by sports phsycologist David Cook. I read the book and it is an awesome read. Looking forward to seeing the movie.
PhatMack19 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Posted September 3, 2011 Adminbaberuth and I played the course in Utopia a few weeks ago and got to meet the author. Admin shanked a drive into the cemetery and almost hit David Cook as he was filming promos for the movie. He was very nice and even helped find the ball that was sitting on some poor woman's headstone. :D I'm looking forward to see it also.http://sevendaysinutopia.com/video
