Description

It's this golf season's most epic rivalry! Brace yourself for a white-knuckle journey from the opening drive to the final putt, as two fearless boys pursue golf's most coveted prize -- the Adventure Land Golf Course Ice Cream Trophy!

The boys grip it and rip it through parched deserts, steep cliffs, and melting icebergs, battling bears, bats, bees, bulls-and each other-in their daring quest for the championship. Forced to work together to traverse the treacherous 18-hole course, the boys slowly morph from bitter rivals to fast friends.

With more than 120 original illustrations and 145 pages, Matchup educates as it entertains, subtly weaving in the rules, terms, traditions, and history of golf throughout the adventure. While it’s a story of rivalry, courage, and enduring friendship for kids 5 to 10, golf lovers of all ages will discover a lot to enjoy in golf’s newest classic.
