Ten-year-old Lee Lomax is trying to scratch a severe golf itch. Like many kids, Lee idolizes his dad, Sam, a talented golfer who has put his game on hold to focus on his family. But Lee is relentless and vows to spend his summer at Sam's blue-collar country club in the Philly suburbs, hoping it will entice his dad to do the same. Enter the despicable Hal Rustin, who wants nothing more than to see the Lomax family booted from the club. Sam might have no choice but to step in. In The Philly Phenoms, we follow Lee Lomax as he searches for a fix for his golf obsession. He circles a special charity match, held on the first anniversary of 9/11, as both the potential cure and the opportunity of a lifetime for the Lomax family. "Don't miss out on this charming and uplifting tale that reminds us all of the power of family and the courage it takes to stand up for what we believe in." - Zephyr Melton, editor at GOLF.com "...a delightful first novel that navigates families and fairways through the wide eyes of resourceful grade-schooler Lee Lomax, a golf-obsessed-and crafty-Huck Finn of the links." - Jeff Silverman, author of Merion: The Championship Story, winner of the 2013 Herbert Warren Wind Award "Tee this one up. It will make you fall in love with golf, or remember why you did in the first place." - Matthew Ross Smith, author of Lizzy Legend and The Million Dollar Race
