Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Diary of a Golf Pro by Shamini Flint introduces us to Marcus Atkinson, who is believed to be a golf pro (not!). Despite Marcus's love for maths and lack of athletic skill, his dad is convinced that Marcus has magic in his swing.

Marcus is a maths whiz who is not particularly good at sport. His father, a self-help author, is sure that Marcus can achieve anything he sets his mind to, leading to hilarious and unexpected results.

This book, presented in an illustrated diary format, features Marcus's gentle, satirical humour and comic drawings. Readers will find themselves laughing out loud while learning a surprising amount about the world of sport.
