Description

Heart and Humor That Are far Above Par

Hit the links with popular humorist and golf enthusiast Phil Callaway as he shares stories of friendship, faith, and failure he found while on the fairway. From tee to green and all points in between, join Phil in a celebration of one of the world’s most exhilarating and exasperating pastimes.

Aim for the flag as you enjoy anecdotes such as…

The Itch—A long Canadian winter does nothing to stop some dedicated and determined early risers.

The Backyard Classic—Scarcity and ingenuity give birth to the Airport Golf and Country Club, a unique course with 18 fairways and only one green.

Escape from the Hanoi Hilton—A prisoner of war passes time and wins the battle for his mind.

Prayer on a Golf Course—Will one man’s wish for an elusive hole-in-one be granted by God?

Fore Is Short for Forgiveness—A dangerously errant drive leads to a lesson in mercy.

Packed with unforgettable quotes, helpful tips, and amusing asides, Under Par will inspire you to never give up on the game you love…even when it doesn’t love you back.
