THE SIXTEENTH HOLE

About the Book

Something stinks at the lush, swanky, exclusive Palmetto Golf Country Club and it’s not the quality of the golf. Pig farmer Earl Scrubs loves everything in his life: his family, his home and his animals. The only problem is it’s in the center of the prestigious Palmetto Golf Country Club golf course where golfers must play through a pig wallow on the 16th hole. Club receipts are down and something has to be done. The club’s president kidnaps Scrubs’ most prized possession, his famed prize-winning pig, and holds it hostage to force him to sell the land. Disdaining the offer of a free lifetime club membership and preferring grilled pork chops to caviar and champagne, Earl challenges the club president to a winner-take-all match. A hilarious, comic sendup of high-status golf that places a pig farmer in a gentleman’s game, the fate of the farm rest on its outcome. Earl, who gets a crash course in the game from legendary mystical gold pro, thought he knew everything there was to know about golf but he’s about to find out the game still has a thing or two to teach him about life.
