Widowed and in diapers, he absolutely detests his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom's salvation comes by way of his daily visit to the nursing home's recreation room and its 10-foot by 12-foot AstroTurf putting green. When he steps onto that magic carpet he remembers his life, but only his life on the golf course, from when he first picked up a club to his last experiences as a course ranger. It's an irreverent journey through people, places, and events all related to his life in golf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Tom: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"I may not remember what I ate for breakfast, but when I'm on this little patch of plastic grass, I remember - people, places, shots, holes, funny stuff, sad stuff, all like it was yesterday ... Like my good friend Eddie always says, 'It's the most fun you can have with your pants on.'
