American golfer

the long version

Charlie Kingston, an American PGA tour player suffering personal and professional losses at home, goes to the village in Ireland where his great-grandmother was born, for a rest and change of pace. Charlie falls in love with Lora, a beautiful Irish woman whose husband, a wealthy Brit, owns an estate with its own ultra-private golf course. The simmering politics of Ireland, political intrigue on the local level, and personal revelations, all act to change the direction of Charlie's life. There is plenty of golf in the novel, but one need not be a player or lover of the game to embrace The American Golfer.--publisher.
