Beskrivelse
For club golfers: a golf book with a sense of humor. Are you obsessed with your handicap? Phil Hunter is. But that won't stop him being ejected from his beloved golf club unless he improves soon. During a key competition the sports journalist tragically causes the death of his boss, Sir Laurence Burnham. Tortured by guilt, Phil is forced to confront his demons. He embarks on a journey of self improvement to become the best golfer he can be and win the forgiveness of Burnham's beautiful widow, Caroline. But all is not as it seems at the exclusive club and Phil becomes trapped in a web of deceit and blackmail at the hands of his tormentor, embittered former detective Ted Moss. As Hunter becomes the hunted, he must find a way to overcome the dark forces threatening to destroy him and his club. Can he make the recovery shot of his life or will he end up in the rough? As seen in Golf Digest: 'Moral of this story: If you kill your boss, you can rely on golf to recover'. Cliff Schrock, Golf Digest. This is a humorous golf novel which looks at golf from the eyes of an amateur who has endured years of golf instruction and is obsessed with the endless pursuit of a better game. Yet he is still desperate to escape the lows of mediocre golf and a constantly ruined card. Set against the backdrop of a British golf club, with some dark humor it explores the vital issues of a club golfer; handicaps, gadgets, club life. As the story unfolds it asks how can a man fall back in love with a game that's led him to rock bottom. Can positive thinking really help him improve or must he rely on hope alone? If you loved 'Fever Pitch' for reflections on man's obsession with his sport and 'Golf in the Kingdom' for an exploration of how golf can bring healing, you'll enjoy 'Love at First Slice'.
