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.
