Critics Review
“Don’t get started reading this book.
“Don’t get started reading this book. It will take three burly men
to pull you away from it.”
–Bob Costas, NBC commentator
“You don’t need to know your bogeys from your birdies to find at least three laughs per page in this novel.”
–The New York Times Book Review
“If you’re obsessed with the ‘green game,’ and it’s raining or snowing, or we’re under nuclear attack so you can’t get out on the course, Missing Links should give you a temporary fix.”
–Rocky Mountain News
“Snappy prose, believable characters, and the funniest take on blue-collar hacking and gambling since Dan Jenkins’s The Glory Game at Goat Hill…it’s social satire and pure irreverence that keep this story in the groove.”
–Los Angeles Times
“Part Damon Runyon, part Raymond Chandler, and part Caddyshack…I was hooked for the full 18.”
–Entertainment Weekly
“A great piece of fiction.”
