Reviews

[Rose · Rating 3 out of 5]

Main character is a professional golfer, so the story is heavy on swing techniques, course management, tournament strategies and recent rule changes, although there was a redeeming story included. As a golfer, I found the book interesting, but I’m sure it would be a total bore for a non-golfer. While Chunk hit on hard times, his re-entry to the non incarcerated world seemed a little too easy. His friends and benefactors just fell into his lap, but still an interesting read. The love story at the end was unnecessary, but seems every author think one needs to be included. To me it did not enhance the story.

A Golf Fable soars …

Wonderful! I have ever been leery of the experience of GOLF in my life, my father being a devotee of the sport. This book gave me an insight into the game that I had never considered. Golf is the context of this book, but this fable soars in it’s narrative, depth, great characters, and heart. I wish my father were still around as this book is something I would love to have shared with him: We both would have loved it and finally been on the same page together. Loved it!
