Classics of Golf announces the release of The Professional, a new novel by Emmy & Peabody-Award winning author Evan Mandery.

The Professional tells the life story of pro golfer David Michael Howard over three transformative weeks at different points in his life. Intersecting with the greats of the game - Nicklaus, Watson and Palmer - the novel asks the questions that everyone who loves golf has asked: What are the conditions that produce virtuosity? Does a single-minded devotion to a skill preclude the possibility of a happy life? Told with humor, charm, and a devotion to the history of the game, The Professional is a golf novel for the ages.

Praise for The Professional:

"A compelling saga of golf obsession and, ultimately, of redemption through golf. Mandery knows the game inside and out, especially all that goes on inside a golfer's head."
- John Paul Newport, author of The Fine Green Line

"A terrific tale of redemption with a great cast of characters. Not only does Mandery capture the life of journeyman tour pro to a tee, but his non-linear storytelling technique keeps the reader riveted."
- Tom Cunneff, National Golf Writer

"Engrossing...an intense assessment of how this game can upset a life or provide it with satisfaction and meaning... Mandery offers a conclusion equal to 'hitting it pure.'"
- Les Schupak, Met Golfer

"Mandery masterfully captures the raw emotion, struggles, joys, despair, and redemption of a golf professional."

- Bob Denney, PGA Historian Emeritus
