Description


Once destined for PGA Tour stardom, Doug Parker's career was cut short by injury and his own self-destruction. He retreated to Windsor Hills, the New Jersey golf club where he grew up, and quietly rebuilt his life—teaching the game with discipline, purpose, and the wisdom passed down from his father. Decades later, Doug is fighting to keep the prestigious, golf-only club alive in the rapidly changing world. But a phone call from his past delivers shocking news—forcing Doug to confront choices from a life he thought he'd left behind and face a future he never imagined. What follows is a story of family, rediscovery, and the strong women who push Doug to confront who he was, who he is, and who he can still become—all set against a game that has a way of revealing the truth about people when it matters most.
