BREAKING 80 AT 80: A Story About a Round of Golf Jack Santee was a man with a mission… 80 years in the making was written by Wes St. Clair and his way with words makes fascinating and compelling reading. This little book is also filled with useful practical advice.

Here’s the story: For his 80th birthday, Santee determined to shun his friends and fellow golfers and focus all of his hopes into a grand quest: breaking a score of 80 at Old Oak Country Club. The trouble was, he hadn’t come close in decades.

His career in advertising had been long and successful, but his skills at golf had failed to follow the same trajectory. After finding less and less satisfaction in the sport, Jack had finally put himself under the influence of a coach and a golf psychologist to see if he could turn his game around. Now he was putting those years of training to the test. And if he could balance all of the conflicting advice and avoid the distractions of unexpected visitors and his own self-doubts, he just might have a chance of breaking 80.

A slim chance, perhaps. But Jack was willing to see just how far a birthday wish could go. BREAKING 80 AT 80 is a tale told across the span of eighteen holes, a single-plane golf swing enthusiast, and a fine companion to Mr. St. Clair’s very worthy debut book, A STORY ABOUT SELLING A RANCH. Both books are available on Amazon.
