Winter Rules: A Golf Comedy
Scratch golfer Wayne Winter rules the roost at Squak Valley, a run-down, blue-collar golf course targeted for development by Big Dick Fowell and his son, Little Dick. When beautiful business failure Hannah Wall moves in with her father Harvey in his trailer just off the fifth tee, Wayne thinks Hannah is taking advantage of the soft-hearted man. Hannah in turn thinks Wayne an arrogant, empty-headed jock.
But when Harvey is selected for a reality TV golf tournament, Wayne and Hannah join forces to try and snooker the network and thwart the developers. Opposing the unlikely duo are the developers, a band of militant environmentalists, and the angry spirit of an Indian healer. On their side, the heir apparent to Schmutz Beer, a bevy of strippers, and the ragamuffin crew that make up the Squak Valley men’s club. The future of the course, Harvey’s fortune, and true love hang in the balance, like a ball quivering on the lip of the cup.

Terrific book!
I am not a golfer, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Whether you are a golfer or not, you will find this to be a great read with many laugh out loud moments. The characters are believable and the scenarios hysterical. It was easy to picture the events unfolding as the descriptions were spot on. This would make a great movie!

Bad timing
Read this one right after I re-read Dan Jenkins "SLIM AND NONE" Any golf story on the heels of Jenkins is going to pale by comparison. However it is a lighthearted read, some of the characters are appealing, and Squak Valley sounds like a place I'd like to play. If Jenkins is Babe Ruth, then Heideger is no worse than Bobby Murcer.

Hilarious golf book!
Perfect for those that hang out at a Muni course. I laughed out loud and groaned with embarrassment at the antics of the locals.

Missing Links it ain't
Good for a few laughs, very few. Thin plot. Total farce. If you're bored and need to read about golf....pick another read.

ENTERTAINING
It was a good read, kept me interested throughout, predictable at times but that didn't really matter as it still made me smile.

Great read
Enjoyed this thoroughly while waiting out a rainy day in December. Golf needs a lot more Sqak Vallys and fewer Kurt Lockwoods.

Funny!
Very funny, to someone who plays golf! Every golfer knows players like this. I could identify with this group. Enjoyed it.

For anyone who has golfed for 30 years
Quirky impossible and not a lot of mystery. However, an entertaining read good for a chuckle or two during a two hour plane ride.
