Bobby Jobe is a phenomenally talented golfer with a terrible attitude. Leading a major tournament in the final round, he gets distracted, as he always does, and blows the lead. He takes his fury out on his caddy, Henry “Greyhound” Mote, who leaves him in the middle of the round. Later, Henry spots Bobby obsessively practicing the shot that lost him the tournament. Overhead, the clouds of an approaching storm roll in, and as Henry watches, lightning strikes...and both of their lives are changed forever.
All Henry knows of Bobby since he saw the ambulance carry him away is that he has been permanently blinded. What he doesn’t know is that an extraordinary woman has come into Bobby’s life, and she’s resolved to get him back out on the green. Yes, blind golf. And she’s determined to enlist Henry in this quixotic quest.
"[Cullen] has a fine ear for dialogue and a knack for writing wise, warm scenes... His knowledge of golf is vast, and he handles the romantic subplot between Murphy and Mote well. The result is a winning story that pulls all the right heartstrings in a genre where tall tales abound."
