Sinossi
Travis McKinley: un lavoro che ormai odia, un matrimonio che si è raffreddato, dei figli dai quali si sente lontano e, soprattutto, un senso di fallimento sempre più opprimente. Una sera, alla vigilia di Natale, mentre si trova sul campo da golf per cercare di pensare ad altro, si rende conto che sta accadendo qualcosa: sta giocando come un professionista, per la prima volta nella sua vita riesce a «vedere» la traiettoria della sua pallina. Nel breve e concitato volgere di qualche giorno, Travis si trova catapultato nel PGA Senior Open, dove lotta per conquistare il diritto di gareggiare con i migliori. E alla fine di questa incredibile esperienza, all'ultima buca dell'ultimo torneo, mentre sua moglie, i suoi figli e un enorme pubblico televisivo lo stanno guardando, lo aspetta un miracolo... di quelli che cambiano la vita per sempre.

Recensioni
This is a nice holiday read. It's mainstream fiction, perhaps a little predictable (but for me it did deliver a couple of surprises). But if you're looking for a short, positive Christmas story, you are sure to enjoy it. My favorite parts are where the main character interacts with real golf celebrit Leggi tutto
This the prequel to Miracle at Augusta. I really enjoyed this book but didn't like Miracle at Augusta at all! This story is not very believable, but Miracle at Augusta was beyond belief!

I'm not a big review writer, but I loved this book! It's heartwarming, humorous, and very touching. Don't worry if you've never played golf, the story is about so much more than that.
I enjoyed this short, easy to read novel. I enjoyed it more than Patterson's Miracle at Augusta. "I was doing what my heart told me to do".
First audiobook of the year and will not be my last. The first installment of the Travis McKinley story. What started as a story of a man primed to make the senior tour turned into a story of a man fighting to save his marriage. He not only does that (with the aide of a $135k ring), but he also chip Leggi tutto
I was not sure if I was going to like this one. For one thing, I am not necessarily a huge fan of golf. Secondly, I haven't really liked any of the books that James Patterson has written with Peter de Jonge. This one proved to be a nice surprising exception. Travis McKinley is at a point in his life Leggi tutto
Originally published in 1996 by Little, Brown and Company. The high school I teach at is in the midst of library book purge. I have no idea why this book was ever in a high school library because it is aimed at adults. I don't mean that it has "adult themes" like a movie might label them (drugs, sex, Leggi tutto
