The Last Green

by Lane Walker

“If you’re going to miss it, miss it straight.” Colt, a skilled junior golfer, has one huge problem…he falls apart when playing in front of a crowd. He thinks he might have found the solution to his golfing issues when a mysterious man moves into his Palm Springs neighborhood. Colt sets out with his two best friends to convince the man to be Colt’s new golf coach. Once they meet Pro Kitchen, they find out there is something special about this new neighbor. After a couple of weeks of lessons, Pro, without Colt’s knowledge, enters him into a local junior golf tournament. Colt realizes the time has come to face his fear and show what he can do on the golf course. His win at the smaller local golf tournament qualifies him for the PGA Best of the West Junior Golf Tournament held at one of the most difficult courses in California. His win also brings him unwanted attention, especially from the media. Fear starts to creep back in, overshadowing his excitement to play against some of the best players in the world. Will Colt let fear and anxiety win? Can he learn to golf confidently in front of a crowd? Will Colt be able to face his fears? Does Pro’s guidance give Colt what he needs to win against the best junior golfers in the world?

We love this series but this was a miss for us. I never appreciate scripture out of context and quoting the Bible without giving blatant reference to it. That was disappointing to me. It's also incredibly tedious just with the repetitive anxiety about everything.

Great book to read with your child, even if they don't play golf. Key lesson in the book was mental toughness and how the main character overcame his mental fears, which were impacting his physical abilities.,
