That’s the question Elliott Goodman hears in the OR as he’s going to have crisis surgery carrying out a heart attack. Nonetheless it isn’t Elliott’s medical expert who’s requesting. It’s God. As in the Almighty. And God has a bet for Elliott. He challenges him to a eighteen-hole golf match. If Elliott wins, he is preserved; if he loses…So starts this witty, insightful, and very funny novel about golf and life and the lessons learned from both.
To be reasonable (isn’t He always?), God transmits down eighteen famous opponents to play against Elliott and hopefully teach him a few stunts along the way. From Leonardo da Vinci (nice golf clubs) to Marilyn Monroe (nice…everything), Babe Ruth (go the hot pups), Abraham Lincoln (cheater!), and fourteen other luminaries, including Moses, John Lennon, Joan of Arc, Picasso, W.C. Areas, Socrates, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, Beethoven, Gandhi, and Shakespeare, Elliott squares off against a few of the most extraordinary people who’ve ever before lived. As pictures are analyzed, balls enter bunkers, and Freud drives the cart (control freak), Elliott has a chance to verify his life and his form, to see what they can correct or improve before facing his ultimate adversary.
Bighearted and delightfully original, Bob Mitchell’s Match Made in Heaven is a grand special event of golf and a serious parable of going our own personal fairways in a casino game where no effort is thrown away, and every inability is just another chance to try again.
