A Father’s Day

By Bob Durand

A heartfelt novel about family, legacy, and the moments that shape us.

On the final day of the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, 27-year-old amateur Andy Rollins finds himself in the unlikeliest of positions: tied for the lead, walking the fairways of his childhood dreams, and carrying far more than just his clubs.

Waiting beyond the ropes is Bobby Rollins—Andy’s father, mentor, and biggest fan—battling a terminal illness but determined to witness one final round. What unfolds over eighteen iconic holes is more than a championship pursuit; it’s a moving portrait of a father and son reckoning with time, memory, and the unspoken bond that has carried them both.

As the pressure mounts and the eyes of the world turn toward Pebble Beach, Andy must summon not only his best golf, but the lessons, love, and quiet strength passed down from his father. With every swing, he’s not just chasing greatness—he’s honoring a life.

A Father’s Day is a soul-stirring journey through sport, loss, and the enduring power of family. Blending the thrill of tournament golf with deeply human moments of reflection, it offers a powerful reminder that life’s most meaningful victories are rarely measured in trophies.

For fans of sports fiction, father-son stories, and emotionally rich narratives, this novel is an unforgettable walk up the 18th fairway—and into the heart of what really matters.
