Synopsis

Travis McKinley's life has drifted sideways. His job, his marriage, even his children all feel disconnected and distant. Has he really accomplished nothing of consequence in his life? One Christmas Day, Travis plays a round of golf and finds himself for the first time in the zone--playing like a pro. In astonishingly short order, Travis is catapulted into the PGA Senior Open at Pebble Beach, where he advances to the final round. And while his wife, his children, and a live television audience watch, a miracle takes place that changes Travis, and his family, forever.

Media Reviews
Miracle on the 17th Green is...where miracles can happen to those who learn to dream again. --Chris Nelson, Calgary Sun
Even if you don't know a birdie from a putter you can still enjoy this sweet tale of a middle-aged golfer's extraordinary blossoming. --Nichol Ruth, The Evening Post (Wellington)
Entertaining. --Kirkus Reviews
Patterson and coauthor de Jonge add a new twist by melding a golf story onto a sentimental Christmas fable. The resulting plot is sort of Rocky Does the Senior Tour with just a hint of It's a Wonderful Life. --Bill Ott, BookList
A fast-moving golf fantasy. --Publishers Weekly
This is a hopeful little gem, and you don't even have to like golf to enjoy it. --BookReporter.com
A cross between It's a Wonderful Life and a masculine version of Sleeping Beauty. --Library Journal
