About The Book

​​     Ten-year-old Lee Lomax is trying to scratch a severe golf itch.

Like many early adolescents, Lee idolizes his dad, Sam, a talented golfer turned Band-Aid salesman who has put his passion for the game on the back burner to focus on providing for his family. But Lee is relentless and vows to spend his summer at Sam’s blue-collar country club in the Philly suburbs, hoping that will entice his dad to do the same. Sam, however, is a family man and his family needs him at home. Big time. It’s not until Lee runs into the despicable Hal Rustin, a belligerent old sop who wants nothing more than to have the Lomax family booted from the club, that Sam starts thinking about stepping in.

     In The Philly Phenoms, we tag along with Lee Lomax as he searches for a cure for his stubborn golf itch and circles a special charity match on the first anniversary of September 11 as both a potential elixir and the opportunity of a lifetime for the Lomax family.
