DESCRIPTION:
Best book about Golfing and Friendship I have just competed reading this excellent book about friendship, love and redemption. The author is a master storyteller who details a friendship through business and golf with an Englishman named Ian Jennings. How they together created an annual team international golf competition with Scott's American friends and Ian's English Friends. The story also covers Scott's personal struggles and his journey to embrace God's love and mercy. I do not want to give away the plot so I will end my review by saying this book is a must read for any ardent golfer.. "A truly heartwarming, gut-wrenching, literary MASTERCLASS!!" according to Greg Matthews. An emotional roller coaster from start to finish!! At times heartwarming, at others gut-wrenching, the story twists & turns from Myrtle Beach NC to the tiny, sleepy village of Spinkhill in the UK. A tale of 5 years of golf, fun, frolics, illness & incredible friendships - And all because of one man Ian 'Tosh' Jennings. I defy you to put this book down once you've opened it BRILLIANT!!
When cancer struck, though, a search for answers to life's bigger questions set the stage for an unexpected journey into discovering God's grace and redemptive love.Author Scott Dow felt compelled to share this amazing story about his dear friend Ian Jennings and their journey together through tragedy and loss to hope and redemption. From the whimsical website that documented every detail to the characters involved to the events that transpired during those years, God's grace was at work every step of the way and, in the end, lives were changed. Tears of laughter and sadness, great joy and tragic loss are all found in the pages of The Flem Cup. and England collided in an intense competition punctuated by hilarious off-course antics in a battle for the coveted trophy - an antique, hand-blown glass spittoon. The Flem Cup is the remarkable true story of a great friendship, a trans-Atlantic team golf match and the providential hand of God. The name of the event said it all: a tribute to the man whose idea it was as well as a tongue-in-cheek testament to the quality of play, and, for 5 years, teams from the U.S. Readers will find a great golf story wrapped inside an even greater story of hope and redemption.
