Fiction
Life is going pretty well for Raymond "Stick" Hart. He's
happily married to the former Ponkaquogue Municipal Golf
Club assistant pro, the beauteous Cajun firecracker Dannie,
raising his rambunctious son, Charlie, and getting by
writing smart-mouthed greeting cards for fifty bucks a pop.
Best of all, nothing has changed at Ponky, the worst golf
course in America. You still have to hook it past the toxic
waste dump on No. 1 and under the billboard on No. 8, the
fried-egg sandwiches are terrible but cheap, and his pal Two
Down is always up for a sucker bet. Then, one disaster of a day, Stick's world does a ten-car
pile-up. The cheapskate bastard owner of Ponky announces
he's retiring to a nudist camp in Florida and selling the
club to the Mayflower Club next door, a bastion of
blue-blood snobbery that plans to pave Ponky over. Worse,
its membership includes Stick's hated father. Who promptly drops dead. Just before Stick's pal Two Down loses $12,000 to a golf
hustler who turns out to be funded by the Russian mob. Which is about the same time that Hoover, Ponky's worst
golfer and the owner of an impressive array of useless golf
gadgets purchased with his wife's money, learns she'll cut
him off if he doesn't break a hundred in one month. Then a practical joke makes Dannie believe that Stick's been
stepping out with the gorgeous new clubhouse girl, the
eye-popping Kelly, and he's soon living on the
forty-year-old couch in the Ponky clubhouse. Luckily, Stick has a solution to all his problems. He'll qualify for the British Open.
