Golfing with Gangsters
A Tee-it-Up-Texas Tale
"How in the world can you get in trouble on the golf course?" my wife asked me.
"Tiger Woods finds ways to get out of trouble on the course, but off the course is a different matter; in my case, I manage to find trouble both on and off the greens. At least I'm consistent."
The "Non-Don"will appeal to anyone who has ever played the game of golf and has used a "mulligan" or mastered the "foot wedge," while thinking no one was watching. The humorous fictional tale based on a real life prank, will have you looking over your shoulder the next time you tee off to see if big brother is behind you. The story encapsulates the author's life long infatuation with golf that spans from childhood ball-hawking on public courses, to golfing with gangsters.
Before The "Non-Don"arrived at the Shoreline golf course, the biggest news was when the armadillos tore up the greens in search of grub worms; but when two corrupt FBI agents begin blackmailing him under the auspices that Mafia activity is taking place at the club, the "Gangster Golf" hoax spirals into a pandemonium that headlines the network news. If you ever thought that the golf course was a safe haven, you'll have to think again after joining the gang on this "romp in the rough."
About the Author
From the author of Bustin' Chops and Sales Tales, Gary O'Callaghan presents The "Non-Don": A Tee-it-Up Texas Tale
The author's fascination with golf began in early childhood by shagging errant balls from a public golf course pond, and then selling the balls back to the same guys who had hit the ball in the pond. "If this isn't capitalism at its best, I don't know what is."
