Just Make It
Kenny Knox was the One-Putt legend who battled his way into the Top 50 in the world, conquered the greens of Harbour Town Golf Links, and proved he belonged among the giants of professional golf. But behind the trophies, Tour victories, and world records was a man fighting battles no golf club could win.
In Just Make It, Kenny takes readers inside the ropes for a raw, firsthand journey through the extraordinary highs and devastating lows of the man behind the scorecard. From walking the fairways of Pebble Beach with legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus, who wrote the foreword to this book, to staring down the freight train momentum of a young John Daly, Kenny gives readers a rare glimpse into professional golf during one of the game's most memorable eras. It was a world where pressure was relentless, margins were razor-thin, and one putt could change everything.
Kenny knew how to handle pressure. His determination, confidence, and extraordinary putting ability carried him to heights most golfers only dream of reaching. But sometimes the higher the climb, the harder the fall. Behind the victories was another story.
Kenny faced losses no leaderboard could measure: physically, financially, personally, and spiritually. His Year of Almost became part of a much longer journey of searching and rebuilding, taking him from the prestige of the Masters to the realization that his greatest victory would require something far greater than the perfect golf swing.
When the cheering stopped, and the leaderboard disappeared, Kenny was forced to confront the question every person eventually faces: What are you made of when everything you built begins to fall apart?
With remarkable candor, Kenny shares the victories and failures, relationships and rivalries, sacrifices and selfish choices, disappointments and hard-earned wisdom that shaped him as a professional golfer, husband, father, businessman, and man of faith. This is not simply the story of a golfer looking back on an extraordinary career. It is the story of a man forced to look honestly at himself, a marriage saved, and a business built from the dirt. Learn how Kenny's faith was tested through adversity and a legacy was redefined.
The same resilience that carried Kenny through pressure-packed moments on the PGA Tour would eventually be required to rebuild what mattered most. The man who spent a lifetime learning how to save strokes discovered that the greatest save of his life would happen far from a golf course. But Kenny does not stop at telling his story. He invites readers to experience it.
QR codes throughout the book connect readers to original music Kenny wrote, adding another dimension to the memories and emotions behind his journey.
And when the life story ends, the golf lessons begin.
Drawing on decades of experience competing at the highest levels of the game, Kenny shares the fundamentals, techniques, full-swing principles, and short-game wisdom that shaped his career. Accompanying video instruction allows readers to step beyond the page and learn directly from a proven PGA Tour champion.
Part professional golf memoir, part sports history, part story of perseverance, faith, and redemption, and part golf instruction, Just Make It reaches far beyond the fairways.
It is about the victories that make headlines and the battles no one sees. It is about falling hard and finding the strength to rise again. It is about mistakes, second chances, faith, family, and discovering that sometimes the greatest victories in life are the ones no one applauds. And it is about what remains when trophies, applause, and scorecards can no longer define you.
Because in golf, as in life, sometimes everything comes down to one thing:
Just Make It.
