Most men of ambition would kill for the chance to play a bracing game at Pine Valley, the most celebrated, and exclusive, golf course in the world. And in the summer of his 30th birthday, Jeff Carpenter gets his chance. Trouble is, Jeff isn't exactly a man of ambition, having put his literary dreams on hold ten years ago for a soulless back office job. Nor did he ever master the art of the swing farther than once making par on the giant dinosaur hole at his local childhood mini golf. But when the son of Pine Valley's most senior councilman takes an interest in Jeff at a Philadelphia gay bar, the sparks from their clandestine romance plunge him into a web of intrigue that threatens their new found love... and Pine Valley's very existence.
