Walter Hagen, Chick Evans, hickory clubs, and Chicago’s Midlothian Country Club are all featured in this story of championship golf and a love story. The novel is set in the summer of 1946, just after WWII, and a young caddie has the chance to move from the caddie yard to the clubhouse—but only if he can beat the legendary Walter Hagen, using classic wood-shafted clubs. He’s got no chance, or so it seems.

If you drop me a note, I’ll get
back to you as soon as I can. I’ve called my blog, ‘Backspin’ and
those of you who play golf know that mastering the art of making a
ball dance on the green is one of the nicest sights in golf. So, I’m
anxious to hear your thoughts on my books. Thanks for taking the time
to give me your backspin on my prose.
