In the tradition of golf classics like Caddyshack and literary midlife misadventures like Sideways, The Turn is one man’s hilarious odyssey through loss, addiction, career implosion, and relationship wreckage as he desperately fights to shoot par on the back nine of his life.
After losing his wife, father, and multiple girlfriends, Casey Sweet finds himself drinking away the nights in the house he inherited, suffering multiple panic attacks at a job he can’t stand, and forced to take a mental health sabbatical for the summer.
When he stumbles upon a set of rare vintage golf clubs, Casey finds himself golfing every day, rediscovering his game, drinking less, and—with the help of his therapist—keeping his anxieties at bay while forging new bonds with an eclectic band of fellow golfers.
As one transformative summer reaches its zenith, and the stakes for Casey extend far beyond the golf course, he must confront his deepest fears and lean on new friends to survive a sports showdown as uplifting as it is unforgettable.
The Turn is at once a story of personal redemption, a blistering romance, and a testament to the healing powers of the most obsessive game ever invented.
