This was a great book to read. You do not need to be an expert at golf to enjoy this story. Coyne does a masterful job centering this tale around a fictional caddie who works at a real midwest country club. His knowledge of the game of golf only enhances the story as it weaves around a young man's life and the people who enter it at the end of high school. There is a good mix of mystery and drama, and he builds the tempo and excitement of the story to the finale on the very last page of the book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
