This is a good, short read by Peter DeJonge and James Patterson (KISS THE GIRLS and JACK AND JILL). Travis McKinley has a religious, Zen-like experience while playing golf on a cold Christmas Day, which causes him to arrive late for his family's Christmas Dinner. Not a good start to the day. He's 50 and newly fired from his longtime advertising position, which he hated anyway. His wife tolerates him. His friends think he's nuts when he announces he's leaving home to try qualifying for the Senior Pro Tour. The dialogue is fascinating, especially the exchanges Travis has with Lee Trevino. This is a hopeful little gem, and you don't even have to like golf to enjoy it.
