18 Holes is a unique collection of short stories; one for each of the 18 holes that make up a round of golf. The stories reflect the fact that golf is far more than a game. From death and glory through to love and valour, 18 Holes captures life itself as much as a sport that challenges and delights so many.

Each hole features a new adventure – terrorism, adultery, shanking or holes in one; lead roles are taken by professionals competing for Major championships, a US President, caddies and even a tax inspector, alongside mere club mortals hacking around their local golf course.

As with an undulating downhill putt, the stories gather momentum and have many a twist on the way; the outcomes may be uncertain but never without drama.

Whether you are tour professional or high handicap beginner, the tales will resonate and entertain. The next time you hit your ball into the long rough, go out of bounds or miss a short tap in for par you will be able to reflect on one of the short stories for solace.
