Description
A sharp, irreverent golf novel follows Kenny Lee Puckett, a talented but undisciplined professional chasing his chance to win the U.S. Open. As he confronts the pressures of competition, money, friendship, and romantic entanglements, his pursuit of the “glory game” becomes as unpredictable off the course as it is on it. Blending ribald humor, colorful Texas characters, and keen insight into ambition and masculinity, the novel delivers an entertaining portrait of professional golf and the people drawn to its promises. Its fast-paced, conversational style and satirical edge make the sporting world feel both vividly authentic and wonderfully unruly.
