This is a definite 4.5 out of 5 book. Robert Bailey tells an inspiring tale of a man on the literal brink of collapse, and his only chance of being saved (or better yet, saving himself) is the sport of golf. Give this one a chance, but you may need a tissue or two along the way to wipe away the tears.

I really enjoyed reading this book! I read it all in one sitting. Although I know nothing about golf, I still was able to read this book and get the overall message of what the book was conveying. The talk of mental health, in particular focusing on men's mental health, was very well done. It talked through some traumas of life that happened to the main character and why he thought jumping off the bridge was his best choice. Then he got to play four rounds with his heroes, who all came through with a lesson to help him. This was a very "cliche" Christmas Carol approach, but I love that type of thing. I did cry as some things hit close to home, as someone who struggles with mental health. Overall, a very good read and I would recommend this book to anyone.

3.5 because I love a story about life-lessons for all of us. A little sappy, but a good Christmas season book to read, and inspired by a true story of the author's father.
