Product Description
Some say golf is about life...
Sometimes, it can be the way back to life!
When ex-headmaster David Crowley is appointed Secretary of Branfield Park, an exclusive but almost bankrupt golf club, he comes up against Brigadier Henry Tufnell who is determined to defend it against any change. Bereaved, celibate and lonely, David no longer plays golf, believing that, by playing, he neglected his dying wife.
Given a six-month deadline by the bank to reverse the Club’s decline, David sets out to attract more members and visitors. As he and the Brigadier do battle, each man driven by his own vision of the game and each convinced that only he can save the Club, David’s own life is reawakened.
Peppered with golfing action and metaphor, Driver is a human story, spiced with humour, violence, intrigue and romance that will entertain golfers and non-golfers alike.

From the Author
Over many years on the golf course, I've heard seen and heard many amusing and intriguing things. I wanted to write a book which would interest and entertain golfers but not just golfers. It is often said that golf is about life, so a novel about golf is bound to be a story about life.
