All Carry

“This wonderful tale is for all lovers of golf, especially the weekend hackers with embarrassing handicaps (like me). Now we have hope. If we can just find the magic clubs.”—John Grisham“Once again the venerable adage ‘The smaller the ball, the better the literature’ proves true. Wojciechowski’s All Carry is beyond a gem. It’s a true sporting masterpiece. The great written stuff on the game—from Golf in the Kingdom to Caddyshack to Dead Solid Perfect—always seems to smack of a tall tale. The writers of such yarns, like Mr. Wojo, are so steeped in the lore that they make the implausible seem truer-than-true. Wojciechowski is a multiple-Emmy-winning golf writer, and his on-tour, inside-the-ropes experience, particularly at the Masters, makes this long-ball tale come to vivid, magical life. If you love the game, you will savor every page. All Carry is an instant classic!”—Steven Pressfield, bestselling author of The Legend of Bagger Vance“A novel that is nothing short of magical. A great golf yarn spun with a true insider’s knowledge of the game, a supernatural set of clubs at its center, and the natural swing of a writer who masters the course. Wojciechowski’s indelible gallery of characters—from the middle-aged writer turned sudden Tour Pro, to the disgraced caddy by his side, to the iniquitous Tour veteran in their way—all take us on a journey to the game’s high places, with its highest stakes, told with all the humor and madness and wonder that is golf itself. All Carry not only finds the target but also touches the heart.”—Tom Rinaldi, Fox Sports reporter and New York Times bestselling author of The Red Bandanna“An enjoyable modern fable for players and fans alike.”—Kirkus Reviews“In the feel-good debut novel from sportswriter Wojciechowski (coauthor of The Bus), a middle-aged golf reporter’s magic set of clubs alters his view of the game—and life… . Filled with colorful characters and enough hilarious one-liners for a comedy roast … this has a ton of heart. Golf enthusiasts ought to tee it up.”—Publishers Weekly
