The Philly Phenoms
Nate Oxman

Ten-year-old Lee Lomax is trying to scratch a severe golf itch. Like many kids, Lee idolizes his dad, Sam, a talented golfer who has put his game on hold to focus on his family. But Lee is relentless and vows to spend his summer at Sam's blue-collar country club in the Philly suburbs, hoping it will entice his dad to do the same. Enter the despicable Hal Rustin, who wants nothing more than to see the Lomax family booted from the club. Sam might have no choice but to step in.

In The Philly Phenoms, we follow Lee Lomax as he searches for a fix for his golf obsession. He circles a special charity match, held on the first anniversary of 9/11, as both the potential cure and the opportunity of a lifetime for the Lomax family.

The Philly Phenoms by Nate Oxman is a fictional sports book geared towards reluctant readers ages eight and up. Lee Lomax is a ten-year-old boy with a love of sports, but unlike most kids his age who favor football, soccer, basketball, or baseball, he instead has a sports passion for golf. His father Sam is a talented golfer who walked away from the game in order to be a family man, but Lee has a plan to entice his dad back into the game and it involves a summer at the country club.
