Details: It is the final day of the Open Championship and storm clouds are gathering over Muirfield, Scotland. Fighting his way into the elite field of millionaire golfers, billionaire financiers, frenzied journalists and pompous officials is a journeyman golfer who is out of his depth and about to drown.
18 short chapters, over 18 long holes of one extraordinary round of golf. All eyes divert from the game’s star players to a golfer no one has ever heard of. There is no precedent for what unfurls. Nothing about our hero is normal. Commentators are dumbfounded. Rules officials are apoplectic. As events conspire, he leads global news bulletins, his audience swells, and the world is transfixed.
A tale of the human spirit, resilience, and extraordinary feats we are all capable of. A life affirming story of hope, family, love and endeavour; it will resonate with everyone, but particularly those readers who still dare to dream.
Featured in Golf Monthly's "Best Golf Novels Ever Published."
Perfect for golf geeks but also those who have never played the fiendish game (or even, golfed?).
A laugh-out-loud caper with equal servings of heart and soul.

“…like playing in a major on a Sunday, you never know what’s ahead, but you just keep on hoping. And sometimes, your best hopes come in. This is what Open Links is like.”
Ian Woosnam, World No.1, Ryder Cup Player and Captain, Masters Champion
“On the day this book arrived I was planning on a day trout fishing. The trout therefore have Mr Holland to thank because as soon as I started reading, I abandoned my plans.”
