We sat down with Tom Layman — sportswriter, videographer, and author of the golf fiction novel Level Par — for one of our most honest conversations yet. We dig into the book's central character Jake Steadman, a former prodigy standing over the most important shot of his life, and what it really means to find redemption through the game. Tom also shares what he's learned about the mental side of golf, why fiction might be the best way to tell the truest stories, and what keeps him coming back to the course.
