Wow...what a surprise! This tells of a young man trying to figure out how to fix the mess he's made so far of his life. The story is told as he plays one game of golf and struggles to break under 70. He want's to become pro. He thinks back on his life and the sometimes sad and sometime very funny events that got him to where he is now. But here is the surprise...it also has depth and heart. What I thought was going to be a light, fast and funny book turned out to be a real gem. Beautifully written. I LOVED IT!

The golf was a little over my head but I liked the main character and think he was written very well. Overall, an entertaining book.
