What to expect
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. . .
Praise for The Golfer's Carol:
'Packed with heart and with hope, golf needed a Christmas classic, and now it has one'
TOM COYNE, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A COURSE CALLED IRELAND
'The Golfer's Carol is that rarest of books - one you will read and keep for yourself, while purchasing multiple copies for friends'
ANDY ANDREWS, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE NOTICER
'A hymn to the heroes of golf and a moving fable about what is most important - and enduring - to learn from the game. A moral rings clear: It is never too late to have a Wonderful Life.'
JAMES DODSON, AUTHOR OF BEN HOGAN: AN AMERICAN LIFE
'A fun, fast read, this novel kind of sneaks its wisdom up on you. I thought it splendid.'
HOMER HICKAM, AUTHOR OF THE ROCKET BOYS
