Fiction
Missing Links is the story of four middle-class buddies who
live outside Boston and for years have been 1) utterly
obsessed with golf and 2) a regular foursome at Ponkaquoque
Municipal Course and Deli, not so fondly known as Ponky, the
single worst golf course in America. Just adjacent to the
municipal course lies the Mayflower Country Club, the most
exclusive private course in all of Boston and a major thorn
in their collective sides. Frustrated by the Mayflower's
finely manicured greens and snooty members, three of Ponky's
most courageous--Two Down, Dannie, and Stick--set up a bet:
$1,000 apiece, and the first man to finagle his way onto the
Mayflower takes all. One of the three will eventually play the course, but their
friendships--and everything else--change as various truths
unravel and the old Ponky starts looking like the home they
never should have left.
