Go Fore It! A Family and Golf Story is an uplifting and reflective novel by author Christopher Everett that explores passion, purpose, and the transformative power of support. Well suited for middle school classrooms, advisory programs, and school-wide reading initiatives, the story invites young readers to think deeply about identity, opportunity, and self-discovery.
When Tyler, a gifted yet reserved teenager, is introduced to the game of golf, he experiences something he never quite found on the basketball court—clarity, confidence, and joy. As his interest in golf deepens, Tyler and his family are challenged to navigate expectations, personal identity, and the realities of entering a sport that has historically lacked diversity and equal access.
Told from the perspective of a close-knit family, Go Fore It! highlights the vital role of engaged parenting, faith, mentorship, and community in helping young people uncover their passions. The story addresses real barriers to opportunity while showing how golf—and sports more broadly—can create pathways to education, careers, and lifelong relationships.
Ideal for parents, educators, coaches, and youth mentors, the book sparks meaningful conversations about following one’s interests, embracing nontraditional paths, and providing encouragement when young people dare to explore something new.
More than a sports story, Go Fore It! is an empowering message to young readers to pursue what excites them and believe in their potential. Inspiring, educational, and genuine, the book challenges adults to consider a powerful question: What could happen if every child were encouraged to chase their dreams, wherever they may lead?
