About this ebook
Stuck in a seemingly dead-end job in a factory in South Wales, Roy Wood dreams that golf is his way to make a name for himself. Unfortunately the omens are not favourable as, after three years, his handicap is still a miserable twenty six. His sex life seems to mirror the mediocrity of his golf; most of his friends are in relationships but he has little luck with the girls. He resolves that 1984 will the year when he at last plays winning golf and vows to practise diligently. Whilst toiling away at the driving range, he befriends the manager Mike who is an excellent golfer and very attractive to women. Mike becomes an increasingly positive influence on Roy and his confidence with golf and girls starts to grow.
We follow Roy’s escapades over three tumultuous months. An invitation to be best man at a friend’s wedding, an eye-opening business trip to Leeds and a riotous golfing weekend in Ireland all add spice to Roy’s once bland existence.
Can Roy overcome his fears and finally make his mark on and off the course?
