Danny: The Odyssey of a Golf Champion

by Andrew Thomson

A schoolboy amateur golfer from a small town in New Zealand takes on the world's leading professional players in a series of severe encounters. Danny Baird, an introverted boy with a rare talent for golf, finds himself hindered, attacked, and frustrated as he strives to satisfy his burning urge - to beat everyone, to win. An uplifting and drama-filled odyssey, the story has a nail-biting denouement in Scotland with Danny playing in front of huge galleries and watched by millions of viewers, finally reaching the pinnacle only to have his life shattered by tragedy.

In golf, as in life, your only salvation is to hit the ball to where it should go.
