THE GOLFER'S CAROL

Robert Bailey

An inspirational and heartwarming novel for lovers of Mitch Albom and Andy Andrews, blending elements of It's a Wonderful Life and Field of Dreams into a moving story all its own.

Four rounds. Four heroes. Four life-changing lessons.

On the morning of his 40th birthday, Randy Clark believes the only way he can help his family is to end it all. Standing on the Tennessee River Bridge in Decatur, Alabama, with his dreams of a professional golf career long gone, his marriage struggling, and facing financial ruin, Randy sees no other alternative to help his wife and daughter but to jump.

But Randy's plans are put on hold when the ghost of his best friend - who did live out the fantasy of playing on the PGA tour - reveals to Randy that he will be given a wonderful gift: four rounds of golf with his four heroes, the champions he's looked up to his whole life, each with a life-changing lesson to impart.

For anyone who has ever dealt with tragedy, adversity or failure, THE GOLFER'S CAROL will bring grace that stays with readers long after they've turned the last page.

Robert Bailey is the bestselling author of the critically acclaimed McMurtrie & Drake legal thriller series, which includes The Professor, Between Black and White, The Last Trial, and The Final Reckoning (Thomas & Mercer/Amazon). An experienced trial lawyer for over twenty years and an avid golfer, he lives in Huntsville, Alabama, with his wife and three children.

The greatest golf courses are those that can be enjoyed by duffers and aces alike. The same can be said for The Golfer's Carol, a story you don't have to be a golfer to love, though it doesn't hurt. Bailey grabs your imagination from the first swing, and walks you through a course of miracles that golf dreamers will cherish. Packed with heart and with hope, golf needed a Christmas classic, and now it has one.

Inspiring... Sharp in its dialogue, real with its relationships, and fascinating in details of the game, The Golfer's Carol is that rarest of books--one you will read and keep for yourself, while purchasing multiple copies for friends.
