Blaise Jones, who everyone called Blu, had a perfect life until he lost his parents and best friend during the spring of his senior year in high school. After drifting for a couple of years he returned to the sandhills of North Carolina and started caddying at Pinehurst. He had settled in as a fixture as a caddy at Pinehurst working 6 days a week. Then one day he was introduced to a mysterious instructor named Solomon Good. He was asked to be his caddy for a tournament in the area. Soon after he became his exclusive caddy, right hand man and good friend.

Nobody seemed to know much about Mr. Good except if you are lucky enough to get lessons from him you do what you need to do to get on his calendar.

A month after starting his new job Dominic Ciacchini showed up to work with Saul for a year straight. Although he never played golf, he had a match with a 4 handicapper in one year. The match in question was of great importance to Dominic. It wasn't just because the millions of dollars they had bet on the outcome. To Dom this was personal.

Within weeks of being with Saul and Dominic every day Blaise, who everyone now called Blu, started to notice things, and was putting together the pieces of the situation. He realized that Dom was in mob and that Saul used to be and was now in hiding.

Events started to move at a faster pace when Vincent entered the picture. Vincent was who Dom used to report to and Vincent was the one that wanted Saul dead 10 years ago. Now he knows that he is alive, and Dom is tasked with killing him. Only this time Vincent wants a front row seat.

Things come to a head the day after the match when Saul, Dom, Rich and Blu play a friendly round of golf the at Needles Golf Resort.

Afterwards things will never be the same.

R A Yeager has been a golfer and a storyteller since he was an adolescent. In college he was selected to that All American team his junior year. This got him the opportunity to get lessons with one of the best instructors in the country who lived and taught in Pittsburg. For the first time in his life he was taught not just what to do but how things worked in a golf swing, and the importance of a short game. He now had been given the ability to teach himself, and others. Then he was asked to coach a golf team at Lake Point Academy, a small Christian school near Charlotte NC. The team was not very good at first, but he was able to train them well enough to with the state championship both team and individual the two years he was with the team. This started him to teach on a full-time basis. A few years later he met a friend that asked him to help him with his screenplay about golf. He started just giving technical advice about golf, that later changed to writing actual scenes and in the end being a co- author of the piece. He moved to Pinehurst in January of 2019. Knowing no one, he soon started writing. His first attempt was an instructional book on golf that he later decided to put inside a fictional tale. It was a story of a person that need to learn how to play golf at a high level in 1 year. He soon changed his focus to writing the fictional tale alone, and subsequently wrote the instructional section as a separate book. The Art of Golf - A Year with Saul is the first of a trilogy, with the second book to finished by spring of 2021.
