Set in 2007, "the smart, funny, sexy novel about golf and
golfers-and art and architecture, and business and economics, and
science and psychology, and men and women, and skirts and skorts"
follows three months in the life of Jeff Jones, who is crawling
back from the depths. One year earlier, to his bewildered surprise,
he had it all: a great job making up the preposterous back stories
used to design and sell ski and golf resorts, membership at the
esteemed Dunbar Gates and, best by far, the astonishing Sydney. But
Jeff's world came crashing down when he discovered Syd naked in the
hot tub with the VP Marketing and ill-advisedly turned his
colleague's sport-ubiquity-vehicle into a fireball that lit up the
night sky. Jobless and alone, he spends long days at his home
instead of home, Big Bill's driving range, ultimately developing a
radical new way to swing a golf club. The savvy Bill spots
opportunity where others see only quivering jelly, and sets him up
as an instructor. But then the June issue of Golf Digest arrives,
with its sensational cover story on the Stack & Tilt swing,
which seems identical to Jeff's. Better-unless it's worse-Jeff
links up with the mysterious Jenny, just as Syd blasts back onto
the scene. And who else should appear but the mother that Jeff has
been trying to avoid, with news of the notorious father that he has
never met. Will the reunion be manic I Love Lucy, or
cringe-inducing Curb Your Enthusiasm? Or, in imagining a sit-com
rather than the opening scene in a police procedural, is Jeff being
uncharacteristically optimistic? Here's proof at last that golf is
a sport. A contact sport. Originally published as Stack And Tilt,
