Golf Reading and Giving List for the Holidays

CUT SHOT by John Corrigan

The debut mystery novel from John R. Corrigan combines the hardboiled detective fiction genre with real world details of the PGA Tour for a present day whodunit.

Jack Austin has not won a single tournament during his ten years on the PGA Tour and struggles with dyslexia, yet life is great. That is, until he learns that a mobster-led gambling ring is betting on each tournament, and one of the players is being blackmailed and forced to cheat. In an attempt to prevent a scandal, Jack enters the underworld to protect the game he loves.

Author John Corrigan is dyslexic and draws upon his own dyslexic experiences for Jack Austin's struggles in CUT SHOT. For his research in making the PGA Tour authentic in CUT SHOT, he relied on his good friend and Tour player, J.P. Hayes. Hayes was the winner of the 1998 Buick Classic.
