For as long as he can remember, Malcolm has never felt like he was good enough. Not for his parents, who have always seemed at odds with each other, with Malcolm caught in between. And especially not for his dad, whose competitive drive and love for sports Malcolm has never shared. That is, until Malcolm discovers miniature golf, the one sport he actually enjoys . . . Soon he is signed up for lessons and entered in tournaments. And yet, even as he becomes a better golfer and finds, unexpected friends at the local course, he wonders if he might not always be a disappointment." -- adapted from jacket.
