From award-winning sportswriter John Feinstein, a YA novel about a
teen golfer poised to blaze his way into Masters Tournament history--and
he'll face secrecy, sacrifice, and the decision of a lifetime to get
there.
Seventeen-year-old Frank Baker is a golfing sensation. He's set to earn
a full-ride scholarship to play at the university of his choice, but his
single dad wants him to skip college and turn pro--golf has taken its
toll on the family bank account, and his dad is eager to start cashing
in on his son's prowess. Frank knows he isn't ready for life on the pro
tour--regardless of the potential riches--so his swing coach enlists a
professional golfer turned journalist to be Frank's secret adviser.
Pressure mounts when, after reaching the final of the U.S. Amateur
tournament, Frank wins an automatic invite to the Masters. And when the
prodigy, against all odds, starts tearing up the course at Augusta
National, sponsors are lined up to throw money at him--and his father.
But Frank's entry in the Masters hinges on maintaining his standing as
an amateur. Can he and his secret adviser--who has his own
conflicts--keep Frank's dad at bay long enough to bring home the
legendary green jacket?
