For twelve months he'd ignore work and other distractions and pursue his dream of becoming a dramatically better golfer. Turk sought instruction from the game's greatest teachers, put the best equipment in his bag, and played the world's finest courses, because his quixotic goal was to take "ten" strokes off his sixteen handicap.With lessons from David Leadbetter, Dave Pelz, and Ben Crenshaw, and with spiritual guidance from wise old men like Willie Nelson, George Plimpton, and Byron Nelson, Turk undertook an epic journey that carried him from Pebble Beach to Scotland and back again, where he risked everything on one final round for his late father.Follow Turk on the journey of a lifetime, and learn to love golf---and life---all over again.
