    About this audiobook

    Just when we need some magic in our lives, bestselling author James Patterson and Peter de Jonge bring us a stirring tale of life, love, and the power of miracles.

    Travis McKinley is an ordinary man living an ordinary life - he has a job that he despises, a marriage that has lost its passion, children from whom he feels disconnected, and at age fifty, a sense that he has accomplished nothing of consequence with his life. But on Christmas Day, he goes out to play a round of golf, and for the first time, he finds himself in the "zone". He sees the putting line that has eluded him for years. Always a fairly good golfer, he finds himself playing like a pro and is so caught up in his excitement that he continues to play, sinking putt after putt, missing Christmas dinner with his wife and family. It is too much for his already troubled marriage.

    His family collapes--but Travis is soon too busy living his dream to notice. His amazing new golf skills catapult him into the PGA Senior Open at Pebble Beach, where he advances to the final round with two of his heroes, Jack Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd. And with his wife, children,and a live television audience watching, a miracle takes place on the 17th green that will change Travis, and his family, forever.

      Nothing is going right for Travis McKinley. He is dissconnected with his wife and kids, he hates his job. One Christmas Day he was playing golf and then he started to play extremely well. He saw exactly how and where to hit the ball. After getting fired, he joins a golf competition. After qualifying for the next level of golf, he calls his wife and she told him that she wanted a divorce. He completely breaks down for a while. After travelling to the finals, he miraculously wins. He has lots of money now, everything is okay with his wife, and things are good again.This was an okay book. The characters were pretty developed and the writing style was nice. However, the plot was way too predictable. There should have been more twists or something. There were also a lot of cuss words. Other than that, it was fine.
    • 5/5
      Hello LT!This was an outstanding book. If you are a fellow golfer you will LOVE this book. If you don't golf, you'll probably still like it. Jimmy P decides to take it easy with this one (compared to his other books), and made a good one. Travis McKinley is a average guy going through the struggles of life, including but not limited to: kids, wife, job, and golf game. Travis hates his job and is having one heck of a time. His golf game is getting pretty good, and he is having such a good time hacking away that he forgets to do something that he regrets. Uh-oh! Well, anyway, he ends up trying out for the Senior PGA Tour. I really enjoyed this book and I'm sure you will too. This book is about a lot more than golf; it makes you think about life a little bit and how to overcome everything even when things are at their worst.Skinny: Read this book. Then, write on my wall and tell me what you thought.Adios LT!thomas2k12

      Although the book claims to be a great read for non-golfers, it can be a bit hard to follow along with all the golf language in the book. Also, I think us, non-golfers, miss out on the wow-ness factor of some swings, the anticipation, etc. However, it is a James Patterson book and as such, it was still a good read. It wasn't great, but it kept me interested. At first glance, someone would think James Patterson was concluding that money fixed problems, but it was actually learning to love yourself, be happy with what you are doing that fixes the problems. I'd recommend it to anyone. It only took me two hours to read and it kept me entertained.

      I have a huge collection of golf books of which I'm ashamed to say I haven't read that many. Seeing this title by James Patterson I assumed it should be pretty good. Turns out the best thing about it is that it's only 150 pages. It's well written but it's story line is just to obvious. The cinderella kid who breaks onto the senior PGA tour and wins the miracle tournament. I guess it plays off that fantasy that all of us aging duffers dream since we first started the game. It's a sugar coated story but if you want a feel good, quick read it may be worth your time. I would rate it about 3.5
    • 4/5
      A good book about a man dealing with his upcoming midlife crisis. Humerous and uplifting
    • 4/5
      Travis McKinley, a disgruntled Chicago ad man, approaches his fiftieth birthday knowing he's about to be fired by the agency where he's worked for 23 years and suspecting that his wife is about to drop the divorce bomb on him. A miraculous round of golf on Christmas Day gives him a reason to live, a scenario only another certified golf nut could understand. I found it perfectly credible.The day Travis gets fired (and before he tells his wife the good news), he sends in his entry fee to the PGA Senior Tour Qualifying School, another perfectly rational action for those of use with a permanent track in our carpeting from where we practice putting. When his wife finds out, she doesn't see this as quite such a rational response to the situation.Patterson's account of Travis' Q-school experience and year on the tour is a fine mix of humor, golf lore, and pathos as his hero struggles not with his golf game but with the disintegration of his marriage. The "Miracle on the 17th Green" at Pebble Beach produces a happy ending, though. It's as sweet as a pured second-shot three-wood to the center of the green on your own favorite par five.

      Wasn't a bad book. Finished it quickly but I am not the demographic. I enjoyed the family aspect and found myself wanting more but also understanding that it was a book about golf. Working through my bookshelves and decided to try this on audio. Narritors was nice would give a 3.5/5.
