Description
Raymond "Stick" Hart's life may be going well, but nothing stays the same at Ponkaquogue Municipal Golf Club. His wife Dannie and son Charlie are happy, his greeting card writing business is thriving, and he's still getting by with minimal expenses. However, when the club's cheapskate owner announces his retirement and plans to sell the club, Stick's world is turned upside down. The news brings a series of disasters: the new owners plan to pave over the course, including the toxic waste dump on No. 1; Stick's pal Two Down loses money to a golf hustler with ties to the Russian mob; and his father, who has always been a thorn in his side, drops dead. As Stick navigates these challenges, he must find a way to save Ponky and restore order to his life. Stick's solution is simple: qualify for the British Open. But will it be enough to save his club, his family, and himself from the chaos that has erupted?
