Product Description
As Hunter unravels the facts of Stedman’s case, his hunger for the truth is matched only by his deepening reverence for the game, one that leads him to a heart-stopping courtroom showdown between golf’s most powerful association and a family torn apart by buried secrets.
THE FUNNY THING IS, I didn't even much like golf at that time. Read the first page

The book follows a young law trainee as he unearths the story of a player that has until now been hidden due to circumstance. There are two levels on which to enjoy this novel. It is a clever and intriguing story, that through a fantastic patchwork pieces together an unknown man's life story, but it is also an interesting historical piece full of unusual tit bits about a golden age of golf, as well as many other thoughts on the game. The author's real skill, is in the believability of the story, and while it may not be for everyone, if like me you are a golfing fan and enjoy the odd crime mystery novel then I suggest you give it a read. It is the most enjoyable book I have read for sometime.
After the first 30-40 pages I couldn't put the book down. Every time I thought I had the plot figured out, it twisted another way. The way the main character, Beau Stedman had his life ripped away from him at such an early age, and had to carve a new one was spectacular. The development of the characters, the southern setting and the plot were all very well done. The author's writing style was very crisp and very readable.
I would highly recommend this book for any avid reader of fiction and certainly anyone who has any interest whatsoever in golf.
One question I did have, how much of this book is based on fact, as a majority of the book was so realistic, I just don't think the author could have thought it up, or if he did, he will undoubtedly get a big following.
If you are a golf fan, it should be required reading over the summer. An absoultely terrific novel from Michael Veron. I can't wait for The Greatest Course that Never Was.
