Malik Edwards has never had any intention of playing golf. In his mind, golf is a game played by old, flabby men wearing funny pants and hats. Then one day while channel surfing he sees a young black golfer being cheered on by a crowd of adoring fans. Suddenly golf's image changes for Malik. Yet, even if he wanted to play, where would he get the gear or the money? And where is a kid living in Brooklyn, New York, supposed to play golf? Malik's growing desire to learn the sport of golf help him overcome these obstacles, but the biggest obstacle-the ridicule of his friends-still sits in his path.

      Brooklynite Malik Edwards is inspired when he sees an African-American world champion golfer on television. Shortly thereafter, he finds a set of golf clubs in a trash bin and takes up the sport himself. Despite some implausible dialogue, the story features an admirably motivated protagonist, intriguing details about golf, and, when Malik gets his best friend involved in the game, just the right amount of conflict.
