Summary: Fore!
Comment: Know this: I don't play golf. But I understand and appreciate the game, which comes in handy for MIRACLE ON THE 17TH GREEN. I bought the book because is was co-written by Mr. Patterson, it was only 149-pages with short chapters, and it received some great reviews. Golf was not the key attraction here. Travis McKinley of Illinois, is 50 (but looks 42). His marriage is on the outs. He hates his job as an Ad copywriter. But that's ok; he just got fired. Now he's FREE! Free to attend golf school in Tallahassee, Florida, to qualify for 1-year on the PGA Seniors Tour. You see, on Christmas Day, Travis played a truly fabulous round of golf. He felt he was finally ready to play with the big boys. Next thing you know, he's at the PGA Senior Open at Pebble Beach with Ray Floyd and Jack Nicklaus, and Bill Murray cheering them on! In our daily lives we must believe in ourselves. We must make time for our families. We must NOT be late for Christmas dinner! And we must believe in miracles.

Summary: A Nice, Light Summer Vacation Book
Comment: This is the first James Patterson book that I have read. Soon I will start the Alex Cross series, but after reading some of the great classics of English Literature I needed an entertaining break. This 150 page story was perfect. I liked it for the same reasons that I liked John Grisham's Skipping Christmas. It was so REAL. Travis McKinley reminded me of so many people that I have known in my life and even a little bit of me. I'm also a big fan of the first person narrative. It will only take you three or four hours, but it's as good or better than any summer movie or book out there. Have fun. Oh and I'm not a golfer, this story can be enjoyable for everyone, even those with a very minimal understanding of the game of golf.

Summary: Golf conquers all.
Comment: This small novella, is a total departure from Patterson's typical works. The writing style doesn't even match. However, I found the story very enjoyable. Hal Linden read the book on cassette.
Being a 52 year-old avid golfer from Chicago, I could relate to the story's main character.
