Review
“Feinstein does a good job of driving his tale down the fairway by putting his protagonist through a series of spectacular feats and comebacks on real courses and filling out his cast with actual renowned golf pros, journalists, and officials . . . Well below par. . .in the very best sense.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“A definite must-read for golfers and perhaps other sports fans. Readers unfamiliar with golf will learn a lot about how the tournaments operate, and any reader will feel compassion for a teen viewed as a commodity in an adult world.” ―VOYA
“Though some may not equate the sport of golf with suspense, Feinstein creates realistic tension, dramatic comebacks, and astounding feats that will leave readers rooting for the protagonist. . .Add this compelling story to libraries with sports fiction fans.” ―School Library Journal
“[Feinstein] has written a golf-themed tale intended for a young adult audience―though this reviewer believes golf enthusiasts of any age will enjoy it. . .Feinstein is a gifted storyteller and his narrative moves at a swift pace.” ―Met Golfer

5.0 out of 5 stars Oddly good ya golf book
I bought this just because the cover looked kind of cool. No other reason. I don't normally get into sports books. But, this one is really good. If you have a teen who plays golf, this would be a good buy for them. Although, I will say that the author does lose a little authenticity with his substitutions for the in jest language that all of us golfers hear routinely. But I get it. I am buying this for my nephew because he is a high school golfer and I can see this resonate with him. It brought me back to my own varsity golf days.
4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable
Enjoyable!!Not one of Feinsteins best … but an enjoyable read
5.0 out of 5 stars great book
Some said it was for young adults but I am 77 and I loved it. It’s a great story about life and the challenges and temptations you face. Well worth your time and money.
5.0 out of 5 stars Peak Behind The Scenes
I devour everything from Feinstein. Especially golf. His writing brings you into the moment and he must be well trusted to put the likes of Spieth, JT, Mickelson, Rory etc to be added to this novel. It gave it a sense of reality. John’s ability to set the scene and give you that privy fly on the wall experience is above reproach. Would dig a sequel here to hear more about Franks journey. Thanks John!
5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read!
I read this book the weekend of the 2019 Masters and it’s as fine a golf novel as can be found, excellently blending reality and imagination. Yes, it’s a ‘morality play,’ but true to golf at The Masters. I’d read some critiques that pondered why unnecessary political commentary was included, but that appeared nitpicking to me. Read it. Then go hit some balls and read some more. It’s a great perspective of PGA pros and a useful reminder that good sportsmanship and ethics is what the game of golf is all about!
4.0 out of 5 stars It was an enjoyable read.
Gift for my husband, he said good book but somewhat fictitious in a way.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great sports novel
What a wonderful novel. It may have been a YA novel but for someone that is decades past being in the YA group I loved this book. Being a golf fan didn't hurt. But, it was such a fun read with a great ending that kept me guessing. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a great novel. Being a sports fan, let alone a golf fan, is secondary to just enjoying a fun story.
5.0 out of 5 stars Feinstein writings are enjoyable
Enjoyed this novel from start to finish
Good book for young golfers.
Perfect book for my ten year old grandson who has been playing golf since he was two.
SI juegas al golf te va a encantar
Es una historia muy fácil de seguir y mantiene el interés a lo largo de todo el libro.Desde luego, si te gusta el golf profesional, lo pasas pipa.Muy entretenido.
Pageturner für Golfer
Ich lese Bücher auf englisch eher ungern aber das hier liest sich so weg, hatte es in zwei Tagen durch. Die Story ist superspannend und - da der Autor Sportjournalist ist - gespickt mit Insiderinfos über den Profisport Golf in den USA und das Masters. Kann ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Ist bestimmt auch ein Erlebnis, wenn man gar nicht selber spielt und Golf nur ab und an im Fernsehen sieht.
Fiction lacking depth
Enjoyable read however the lack of inclusion of the amateurs staying in the craws nest will annoy any serious golfers.
