Love on the Links

Debra Basso initially is thrilled when her fiancé Troy Bland invites her to spend Labor Day weekend with his parents at the Pelican Key Resort.  But the Blands all are avid golfers, while the only links Deb are familiar with are the beat-up felt fairways on Cape Cod's mini-golf courses.

At Troy's insistence, Deb flies down to the Pelican Resort a week early to learn the difference between a bogey and a birdie. Yet when she arrives at the clubhouse for her first lesson, she learns the female teacher she's contracted to work with has taken ill.

Golf pro Scotty McCloud doesn't have the flu. But he sure has a bad attitude.  Once a nationally ranked player on the PGA circuit, Scotty never expected a bum knee to reduce him--at least for this season--to teaching would-be suburban housewives in skorts and visors how to master the sport.

Over the next few days Deb suffers through Scotty's endless and exacting lessons on how to chip and drive the ball.  But once they leave the putting and driving ranges for the actual fairways, Deb starts to realize that Scotty is teaching her more than just how to land the ball in the hole with the minimum number of strokes.  Although she resists losing her heart to Scotty--knowing that if she does so, she'll lose the secure life she's planned to have as Mrs. Troy Bland--a freak lightning storm suddenly turns her teacher-student relationship with Scotty into something steamier. 

Love on the Links explores what happens when Deb throws caution to the wind and learns how to play the game of romance with no regard for making par.
