An inspiring story of hope, redemption, and trying to hit the ball straight.
本書講述了一個關(guān)于希望、救贖和力圖改邪歸正的故事。
A year ago, Travis McKinley, an unknown golfing amateur, shocked the world by winning the PGA Senior Open at Pebble Beach. Now he's famous, he makes his living playing the game he loves, and everything should be perfect. Still Travis can't shake the feeling that he's a fraud, an imposter who doesn't deserve his success - and after a series of disappointments and, to be honest, personal screw-ups, he might just prove himself right.
A shot at redemption arrives in an unexpected form: a teenage outcast with troubles of his own - and a natural golf swing. As this unlikely duo sets out to achieve the impossible on the world's most revered golf course, Travis is about to learn that sometimes the greatest miracles of all take place when no one is watching.
一年前,一個名叫崔維斯·麥金萊的名不見經(jīng)傳的業(yè)余高爾夫球手,因為在卵石灘美國職業(yè)高爾夫球協(xié)會的高級公開賽中奪冠而名聲大噪。現(xiàn)在他名利雙收,做著自己喜歡的事業(yè),他的生活看起來似乎是完美的。然而他卻無法擺脫一個念頭:他其實就是個騙子,靠欺騙才取得了眼前的成功。在遭受了一系列的打擊,其實都是他自己活該搞砸的事情之后,他對自己的懷疑也似乎被證實了。
然而他的救贖此刻突然降臨,來自于一個一身麻煩的流浪少年和一記自然而然的揮桿兒。當(dāng)這兩個似乎完全不相干的因素碰到一起,并向著全世界最讓人敬畏的高爾夫球場進發(fā)時,崔維斯認(rèn)識到,最偉大的奇跡可能就發(fā)生在當(dāng)你被人遺忘的時刻。
