"Unplayable" by Simon Rae explores the tumultuous world of professional golf through the eyes of its protagonist, a talented yet troubled golfer. As he grapples with personal demons, the pressure of competition, and the expectations of fame, his journey becomes a poignant reflection on the sacrifices made in pursuit of greatness. The story delves into themes of resilience, the cost of success, and the fine line between ambition and obsession. With vivid characterization and breathtaking descriptions of golf’s landscapes, Rae crafts a narrative that captures both the beauty and heartbreak of the sport and its impact on those who play it.
