Hole by Hole

A Walk with God on the Golf Course

By: David W. Cobb

Narrated by: Rich Germaine

From the outside, it appears Billy Newman has it all. A successful businessman with a beautiful family, Billy has not only achieved his dreams of financial success, he also has realized his dream of playing golf around the world. As a sports writer for a national magazine, he has seen and experienced nearly all the world's greatest golf courses, from Pinehurst to Pebble Beach to St. Andrews and beyond.

There's just one problem, but it's a big one. As successful as Billy seems, the truth is that deep down he feels like a failure. Instead of being exhilarated by his years of outward success, he has become exhausted.

Frustrated, confused, and lost at heart, Billy finally sets foot on the one elite golf course he has not yet visited—the gorgeous, lonely Prairie Dunes in the middle of Kansas. Tom Watson once said about the course, "It's a little bit of Scotland in the land of Oz.... Like Scotland, the wind usually blows."

On this impressive golf course, struggling against the land's natural challenges and his own billowing questions about life, Billy may just find, among this great inland links on this cold windy autumn day, the answers that have been eluding him. With God walking with Billy hole by hole, this day perhaps he will finally reconcile his past and find a life worth really living.
