What to expect

This inspirational, uplifting story from Robert Bailey is heart-breaking and ultimately uplifting, showing us all that it is never too late to live a wonderful life...

Four rounds. Four heroes. Four life-changing lessons.

'A celebration of faith, family and the human spirit, The Golfer's Carol is a page-turning story of love and second chances that is sure to become a classic' Winston Groom, author of Forrest Gump

When Randy Clark wakes up on his 40th birthday, he's going to go to work, eat the steak dinner his wife prepared him, blow out the candles on his birthday cake. . . And then he's going to kill himself.

With his dreams of a professional golf career long gone, his marriage struggling after the death of his son, and facing financial ruin, Randy has no other option to help his family but to jump off a bridge, and to let the life insurance company do the rest.

But Randy's plans go awry when he receives a surreal gift: four rounds of golf with his four heroes, four chances to learn from the best.

Four chances to change his fate. . .
