One O’Clock Tee

About the Book

No, this title is not a typo. The story is not about tea. It’s about people, including some old codgers who have survived through thick and thin for lots of years. They’ve made this possible primarily by their friendship on a golf course, by their respect for one another, and in large measure, by their personal grit. The story involves an ex-professional golfer whose wife died from cancer, leaving him with a little girl who has grown up and now faces problems of her own. It features one of the wealthiest women in the country, a romance or two, an unsolved old murder case, a crucial golf match, and some zany antics in small-town Middle America.
