Tee Time

But only some idea, because this book, with more twists and turns than an Oklahoma tornado, is filled with surprises. "Just reading one segment of Chapter Two, in which Stan recounts the crazy story of playing golf in Saigon, Vietnam, at the Tan Son Nhut Air Base Golf Club course, a woman caddie at his side, and finding the ball he sliced off the tee, in rough just inside a truly hazardous bunker made of sandbags and barbed wire - a South Vietnam Army soldier inside, ready to push a button and blow up the enemy, without yelling Fore! - I knew this novel was going to be very different and very entertaining. "I guarantee, you'll agree, Tee Time is a winner, and be compelled to read the book a second time." - John Andrisani: Former senior instruction editor of GOLF Magazine and highly acclaimed author of golf books such as The Tiger Woods Way and Golf Heaven.
