Strokes Gained

Pepper Espinoza

Ray Wilson only cared about one thing for most of his life -- golf and being the best golfer in the world. He sacrificed everything to be an elite athlete, including personal relationships, until he turned forty and his life changed drastically. A chronic back injury forced him into retirement, and the loss of his sister made him the guardian to his young niece, Chloe. Three years later, Ray is completely removed from the sport he once loved so much, entirely focused on his role as Chloe's adopted father and struggling with his limited mobility. Until a call from an old friend changes his life once again. A talented young player, Jimmy Hart, needs Ray's help with a once in a lifetime opportunity to join the professional golf tour. Ray is familiar with the younger man. Three years ago, they shared a flirtation but Ray never thought more could come from it. Jimmy is everything Ray is not -- young and healthy, single and free, beautiful and talented and Ray definitely has more than a professional interest. But does the handsome young player see Ray as more than just a mentor?
