Opis

Who is Gryphen Reed? A miracle worker or a madman? In The Front Nine the reader will travel from the coast of Long Island to the jungles of Costa Rica, from outer space to the depths of hell. The Front Nine features a diverse cast of characters and an ever-present, psychotic greens keeper. The Front Nine is a collection of short stories. The works are each quite different and can be read independently, however, a common character is threaded across the series. Prevarication is a general theme throughout these nine tales as well. To get the full effect, it is important that you read each story all the way to the end. Several of these tales are purely original, while others are my take on classic stories. Some are a blend of both. Many of the connections are obvious, while others are more subtle. As anyone who plays the game knows, golf is a burdensome vice. These stories, like several of my novels, are "golf-themed," but certainly not just about golf. If they were, they would probably be too tedious for even the most obsessed fans. Golf serves as a setting, a background, and a common connection among characters in my writing. Within a golfing framework, I still strive to create stories that are engaging even for non-golfers. I hope that everyone who reads The Front Nine finds it an entertaining place to play."
