Mason's new movie Golf in the Kingdom is scheduled to shoot in November 2007
wrapping on 1st December 2007. A release date is provisionally planned to

The movie version of Michael Murphy's book has been tabbed with a
modest $3 million budget. Production company Golf in the Kingdom LLC
has enrolled sports marketing and management company Octagon to
enlist corporate sponsors and handle all licensing and product
placement for the film. John Ashworth is overseeing costume design,
while Industrial Light and Magic, George Lucas' special-effects firm,
has signed on as the film's visual designers.

GOLF IN THE KINGDOM is the largest selling golf novel ever written.
The film tells the story of a 21 year old American lad, Michael
Murphy. We meet him when he is on his way to India to study Eastern
Religion. He takes a detour to Burningbush, Scotland to play his last
round of golf. There he meets an eccentric golf instructor, Shivas
Irons, who for 24 hours, takes him on a transformational journey on
and off the golf course.
