First sentence: If I understand the shouting of this incensed Scottish fellow correctly-and there's always the outside chance I've completely mistaken his livid burr for an enthusiastically warm welcome-what he means to tell me is that a proper game of golf here in the land where the sport began is supposed to take only three hours to play.
Description: Michael, a successful journalist, and Don, a card dealer with brittle-bone disease, go to Scotland in search of the course "Burningbush." As Don struggles with his physical challenges, Michael struggles to keep the game - and life - in perspective. This is a tale of courage, wisdom, and friendship between two men united by their love of golf.
