Maybe its the way in which every hole is a puzzle to be solved. Or the whimsy of the windmills and waterfalls that decorate the course. Or maybe its the slushies at the snack bar. But whatever the reason, something about mini golf just clicks for Malcolm. And best of all, its a sport his dad cant possibly obsess over.Or so Malcolm thinks.Soon he is signed up for lessons and entered in tournaments. And yet, even as he becomes a better golfer and finds unexpected friends at the local course, be wonders if he might not always be a disappointment. But as the final match of the year draws closer, the tension between Malcolms parents reaches a breaking point, and its up to him to put the puzzle of his family back together again.
