The ravages of time have taken a toll on 72-year-old Mike Browning's physique, diminished his vitality, and eroded his golf swing. The seasoned linkster had long subscribed to the notion that decline is an inevitable consequence of aging, but his outlook changes after he meets a most unlikely mentor, Scotty.
Mike first encounters Andy Scotty Sanderson one eerie night while walking his dog at Red Oak Country Club. Initially perplexed by the peculiar fellow dressed like a nineteenth-century Scotsman, he soon learns the mystical sage is a guardian of secrets with the potential to not only transform his game but also, more importantly, renew his flagging body and spirit.
Mike's newfound fortitude and ameliorated golf skills are put to the test during the club championship finals. His nemesis, Tex, employs every deceitful trick in the bag in a shameful display of gamesmanship that violates the spirit of the sport, but integrity is restored as Mike holds steadfast to golf's time-honored tradition of etiquette.
