Gabriel’s Creek Golf Course couldn’t be found when Chris Collins looked for a course where he could play a special round. He meets the course mascot, a Border Collie he’s told just showed up one day out of nowhere. Then, a special breakfast ends with the Pro’s caution, “This place is magical…You’ll see what I mean.”
Collins has chosen to spend one of the last days of his life walking 18 holes of golf. With Ralphie as guide and companion, Gabriel’s Creek itself brings out his reflections on life in a tale about family, friends, and commitment, about dogs and destinations.
A variety of characters from his past meet him as the round winds along. They are popped into and out of golf holes across two continents. Some are places he has played before, while some he had simply dreamed of before.
Is it time travel, or is it just the enchantment of Gabriel’s Creek?
The 18th hole is more than the end of Chris’ round. On that final green, Collins finds that Gabriel’s Creek Golf Course exists in neither the earthly nor the next world, but perhaps somewhere in between.
