Miracle at St. Andrews - Travis McKinley Large Print by James Patterson Paperback

About the Book

Seasoned pro golfer Travis McKinley is cruising toward a new season when he misses a putt on the 18th green. Just like that, he's down and out and off the Senior Tour, his career all but dead. Then Travis is visited by a mysterious stranger whose vision is clear: go back to the beginning. The very beginning. Taking his advice both literally and to heart, Travis and his family travel to their ancestral home--Scotland. In the place where golf was born, he's able to look beyond getting the round ball in the round hole. And when Travis steps onto the Old Course at St. Andrews, the magic of the game takes over.

Book Synopsis

In this inspiring novel, one ordinary man makes the pilgrimage to the mythical greens of St. Andrews--the birthplace of golf--on a search for greatness.

If golf novels had a leaderboard, Miracle at St. Andrews would be at the top.

Though nobody has ever identified a single secret--no universally accepted truth--to the sport, every real player searches for one. Travis McKinley is one such seeker. A former professional golfer who feels like he's an amateur at the rest of life, he makes a pilgrimage to the mythical greens at St. Andrews. On the course where golf was born, every link, hole, fairway--even the gorse--feels like sacred ground. Ground that can help an ordinary player, an ordinary man, achieve a higher plane.
