Travis McKinley is living the life he always dreamed of. He was an ordinary man living an ordinary life, until a miraculous twist of fate led to him become a golf pro at the age of fifty and win the USPGA Senior Open. But recently Travis's good fortunes have taken a turn for the worse, and his game is falling apart. Then, drunk in a bar one night, he gets into a brawl with a fellow golf pro which is captured on camera and broadcast across America. Travis is hauled in front of the USPGA and banned from the tour for the rest of the season. With his dream life suddenly snatched away from him, Travis is forced to access how things got this bad, and how a person who has been so focused on his own selfish needs can rediscover what is truly important.

Fifty-year-old Travis McKinley, discontented with his job, wife, children, and accomplishments, suddenly begins playing golf like a pro and is invited to compete in the PGA Senior Open at Pebble Beach where he, his family, and a live television audience witness a miracle.

Though nobody has ever identified a single secret; no universally accepted truth; to the sport, every real player searches for one. Travis McKinley is one such seeker. A former professional golfer who feels like he's an amateur at the rest of life, he makes a pilgrimage to the mythical greens at St. Andrews. On the course where golf was born, every link, hole, fairway, even the gorse, feels like sacred ground. Ground that can help an ordinary player, an ordinary man, achieve a higher plane.
