It is an exotic blend of Indiana Jones action and pulp fiction adventure laced with mystery and romance. Chapter 15 Swiss Milkmaids Mountain Geneva, Switzerland Hole 14 The view from atop the mountain was awe inspiring. The gallery stared at the players as if they were wannabe gods at the gates of Mount Olympus. The Score Keepers shouldered their way through the crowd to the platform at the tee area. Lexi shouted like a heroic cheerleader through a megaphone with the Red Cross symbol painted on it, "Welcome to the 14th hole of the world golf tour. It is 2,345 yards long and a par 6. The hole is not particularly difficult as it may first appear. Once you get accustomed to the awesome view of the valley, it is simply a matter of a firm stroke with the proper club selection." Dixie held her own megaphone aloft as she bellowed sweetly, "Please be cautious on the slope today. Be sure of foot and no one should get hurt. I know from experience that instinct can trick you. Maneuver your style to compensate for the capricious mountain winds." Lexi amended her speech, "We are honored to have the heroic Dog Corps of the Swiss Red Cross on hand. The brave ladies will be our official Spotters along the entire length of this magnificent fairway of snow and ice." The cheering of the crowd on the mountain and at the chalet sounded like peels of thunder from heaven. The Saint Bernards barked in time with the chanting men and women. The patriotic word that the people kept saying over and over again was AM... ER... I... CA. After winning the coin toss, Macdonald stepped to the tee. He had a driver that he called a shillelagh. It had a thick shaft like a baseball bat made of hand polished mahogany. The dusky face of the club was very irregular. It ...

It is an exotic blend of Indiana Jones action and pulp fiction adventure laced with mystery and romance. Chapter 8 Happy Haunting Grounds Ceylon (Sri Lanka) Hole 7 The foursome met near the tee with their caddies. They stood and waited for the outcome of the coin toss to see who would have the honors to go first. The Score Keepers moved to the high ground and raised their hands to command silence. Dixie and Lexi faithfully said a silent prayer before they announced the statistics of the hole Lexi began, "Hole number seven of the world tour is six hundred and sixty seven yards long with a par five. It is an unknown legendary course that may one day become a classic among the nations. There is little more to say that is not already apparent. The great distance of the hole demands great accuracy and even greater finesse. The green adorns the crest of a seaside cliff that is located one hundred and sixty six feet above the sea. It rests cheek to cheek with the ruins of an ancient Ceylon fortress that acts as a millennial old clubhouse." Dixie took up the discourse as she said, "According to Captain Sandy, this merciless hole has yielded only three birdies since its conception. I would normally wish you good luck. But for this hole, you will need to pray for a miracle."

* Historic Action Adventure Satire Short Story ! This chapter from my upcoming epic novel features the greatest men and women players from the Golden Age of Golf on a world tour of the most fantastic holes ever imagined! It is an exotic blend of Indiana Jones action and pulp fiction adventure laced with mystery and romance. Lexi climbed onto a short platform supplied by Herr Henkell before she announced, "Welcome to the incredible Roman arcade hole. It is 495 yards long and a par 5. The fairway is a Roman aqueduct that spans a canyon. The tee is a platform one thousand feet above the deep valley." Dixie climbed up too and then she proclaimed loud and strong, "The players must strike with a downward angle so that the ball enters the giant stone trough. Be careful that it does not bounce out. It is impossible to play the hole in the valley below the four tier aqueduct. I have it on good report that the valley floor is inhabited by carnivorous reptiles." Hage stood shoulder to shoulder with his partner as he said, "Only a bunch of numbskull Nazis would import killer crocodiles as a hazard for their own golf course." The Score Keepers had decided that it would be fun for the players to play in alphabetical order. So that placed the team of Wild Bill and Woody at the back of the pack along with their current opponents Robby and Hage. The timing was very fortuitous. No sooner had the other teams teed off and then they lost their patience. Aiming at the aqueduct was like trying to thread a needle while balancing on the top of a zeppelin. The men got so frustrated that they began to invent new cuss words. They dared not offend their secret host Mr. Hitler or their armed caddies.

Chapter 17 Diamonds in the Rough Cape Town, South Africa Hole 16 The Score Keepers came to the forefront of the tiny grandstand erected for the occasion. Lexi waved at the gallery, while Dixie blew kisses. Each lady instinctively knew the oil that they were throwing on the British social fires. Lexi shouted with authority, "Welcome to the16th hole of the world golf tour. It is 306 yards and a Par 3. There is only one path to success here. You must put your faith in the old maxim that all shots break toward the water. Bear that in mind and then your score might not result in disaster." Dixie reveled in the attention as she yelled with her angelic sing song voice, "The South African Country Club's best hole is the world's biggest and longest sand trap. The tee is grassy and the green is too. But the one hundred foot wide fairway is a mile long stretch of golden shoreline. One more thing has been brought to my attention. There have been snake sightings on the shore this morning. So beware if you see a stick moving across the sand toward you. It will probably be a cobra."

Left on Paradise by Kirk Adams (20 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Before Portland, there was Paradise. Following the stolen presidential election of 2000, 102 intrepid progressives, led by self-absorbed Hollywood star Ryan Godson and his kind-hearted wife Kit Fairchild, make good on their threat to abandon a corrupted society still under the spell of Puritan fanatics, Yankee traders, and southern slavers. Now, a new society will be founded: a new country among the nations. This will be a land in which feminists, liberals, environmentalists, multiculturalists, pacifists, socialists, communists, communitarians, and progressives of every persuasion will remain unthwarted by the opposition and oppression of Republicans, social conservatives, and constitutionalists. Left on Paradise is a sweeping epic about a band of idealists who have forsaken family and friend to build a perfect word on a remote island in the south Pacific. From the thrill of first hope to the brink of deadly catastrophe, Kirk Adams relentlessly puts the band of idealists in a world in which they can live out the iron logic of their beliefs and dreams -- unencumbered by conservative resistance or religious restraint. Yet, they bring to Paradise the moral limits of their own ideals and character and soon find that they themselves have brought evil to their Eden. With riveting twists and turns in the plot that mirror contemporary (and historical) American political experience, the author shares political fiction that speaks to the cultural questions and divisions that contemporary Americans face, even as he offers a vision of what must not be sought. It's May 2001 and the band of political pilgrims have sailed to a remote island in the Pacific to found a new country: a true State of Paradise. Numbering the same as the settlers of Plymouth and Jamestown, the idealists have marched straight out of the 1960s to build the Great Society suspended by Nixon, Reagan, and the Bush family. These pilgrims will show the world what it means to be Left on Paradise -- or so they ...

The Trouble with Girls by Kirk Adams (Kirk Adams Books) (4 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

Eric Eules is in trouble -- always. The sixth-grade graduate has a big problem -- and it isn't just that Woodland Hills neighborhood guru Burnout pushes him down a hippie path he can't possibly travel. Eric's problem is that he's at war with nearly every woman in his life at the very moment he has grown to desire nothing more than the love of one girl. That is, his mother assigns him never-ending chores, his aunt taunts him as a male chauvinist piglet, and his sisters protest his frequent tinkling on the toilet seat. Most of all, he must face down classmate and nemesis Skinnydip -- who stands between Eric and the new girl to the neighborhood, the beautiful Lori Bloom. The Trouble with Girls in an exciting coming of age story in which a growing boy first perceives how the true desire of his heart is something -- someone -- greater than playing baseball and riding bikes with his boyhood friends. Set in an Indiana suburb during the summer of 1972 -- a year of tumult and change in how men and women saw each other -- the clumsy and awkward twelve-year-old boy must navigate the perils of his own home and neighborhood. Maddened by first love, he must complete a series of Herculean labors to win the heart of she who now matters most to him. Return to a lazy Midwest summer when noisy boys played in ball fields and wooded lots, bicycled across town without supervision, and checked out books from the county bookmobile. Remember a quieter world without mobile phones and video games, a world where boys learned how to get along without the nagging oversight of their parents as they fought through problems themselves -- learning life-changing lessons even in their foolish and short-sighted solutions to thorny and complex concerns. See how boys scrounged for spending cash in old-fashioned families quick to provide love and discipline to their children, but slower yet to indulge mere boys anything more than food, clothing, and shelter. Still, The Trouble with Girls is far more ...
