Overview
A recently laid-off golf reporter. A down-on-his-luck caddy. And a magical set of clubs once owned by Jack Nicklaus. In his wonderfully funny first novel, New York Times bestselling author and former ESPN reporter Gene Wojciechowski gives us a pair of unlikely champions unlike any other.
Joe is a golf reporter. He’s missed more Father’s Days than he cares to count because that’s when he has to cover the US Open. But his son Buddy has counted every single one.
Joe and Buddy’s relationship is fractured at best. Then one day at a garage sale Buddy finds a woefully obsolete set of golf clubs that supposedly belonged to Jack Nicklaus and decides to give them to his father as an olive branch. When Joe takes the clubs out on a whim, he discovers something unbelievable: he’s hitting 400 yards. No one hits the ball that far, not Tiger, not Nicklaus.
Max “Hard Way” Mitchell knows golf perhaps better than anyone. He used to be one of the best caddies on the PGA Tour. But he was run out of town after sleeping with a golf pro’s wife. Now he’s the owner of a run-down driving range, his glory days slipping away.
When Joe’s golf channel has a round of layoffs and he is laid-off, and Hardway realizes that with this magical set of golf clubs Joe is better than anyone on the tour, he convinces Joe to do the seemingly impossible—win the Masters as an amateur. And to do this they'll need each other.
Told with a specificity that only comes from years of covering the sport, Gene Wojciechowski’s fiction debut, All Carry, is a feel-good father/son/unlikely friendship/comeback story that will no doubt be a new classic.
