Review of So You Thought Golf Was Easy
Garney Foster, a young Michigander, embarks on a new journey at the Birch Run Golf and Country Club, under the guidance of Mr. Trent, the head professional. Breaking away from the family tradition of hockey, Garney passionately pursues golf, his first love. Along the way, he comes under the watchful eyes of someone who has begun harboring feelings for him. As Garney faces the unexpected challenge of Corrine Francis, also known as Connie Frankie, a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, his dream, family, and friendships hang in the balance. So You Thought Golf Was Easy by David Pendlebury, a crime and mystery novel, explores the intricacies of Garney's life and the unexpected turns it takes.
Upon selecting the book, I found myself pondering numerous questions that could only be answered through reading. What is the novel all about? Will it be enthralling? The intriguing title, So You Thought Golf Was Easy, heightened my curiosity. Despite initial doubts, the novel proved to be enthralling, with Garney resembling a firmly rooted tree swaying only to strong winds, but which cannot be uprooted.
My anticipation was met with satisfaction as the plot unfolded, initially presenting the history and current events of the Foster family. The introduction of Carley Brophy added excitement, while Connie Frankie's entrance complicated the narrative, making it impossible to put the book down. What does this mean for Garney and his dream, family, and friends? Will Frankie become Garney’s second love? The author, David Pendlebury, skillfully weaves a story of passion, determination, and giving back. Garney shows that though one may never attain some goals, one can always choose to help others.
Despite the book's numerous positive and likable aspects, I must express disappointment over the errors I encountered. Additionally, some chapters, spanning only a single page, felt too brief. However, these issues do not overshadow the remarkable narrative exploring themes of passion, determination, and giving back. In light of this, So You Thought Golf Was Easy by David Pendlebury earns a rating of four out of five stars. The errors encountered are regrettable, but another round of editing will ensure this captivating story earns a perfect rating.
