Book Description
In June 2010, Paul Laubach made the unfortunate decision to play all of the top 100 golf courses available to the public, according to Golf Magazine. Spread over 45 months, he managed to complete his goal despite numerous weather, course maintenance and other logistical issues...not to mention his own “senior moment.” The journey covered 87,814 air miles and another 17,051 by automobile. During the trek he suffered two frozen shoulders, a bad lower back, golfer's elbow (left), tennis elbow (right), three major sunburns, hundreds of mosquito bites, poison oak, plus numerous cuts and bruises chasing errant shots into the woods, desert and other prickly flora. None of this was as painful as the cost associated with losing 117 Pro V1s. A confirmed golf addict and cheapskate, he is now chronicling his adventures for his heirs (who will probably get nothing else, as he wasted the estate on this boondoggle).

While Carol yearns for Tom to join in her search for new age spiritual bliss, Tom's boss insists he take up golf as a business networking tool. In a classic cautionary tale of a happy marriage gone adrift, follow our hero Tom as his obsession takes hold and steers him down a dark twisted road of substance; in this case the substance is golf! When Tom's new found golf lust and Carol's spirit world collide, magic happens. (Spoiler Alert!)

Dismayed, Carol seeks out other golf widows for advice but when she hears one woman exclaim, "My husband wouldn't have sex with me now unless I painted myself green and stuck a flag between my legs!" Carol puts her foot down: "It's either me or golf." What Tom does next turns their world upside down!

Book Description
The story of a golf professional trying to make it through life at a private club with 521 bosses, a Cougar nymphomaniac, one good member and a board president intent on his demise. This story follows the hilarious everyday life of a golf professional through lessons, committees, PGA section meetings, club rules, demo days and golf trips.

At breaking point, he starts replying to emails and requests the way he'd really like to reply, which is a far cry from what they taught him at PGA business school! While the president's intent to remove him, and install his son in law is relentless our pro has more tricks up his sleeve than the assistant pros who hide his inventory or the slick suits from the big management companies that think they can waltz in and steal his job. Success is always the best revenge!

Book Description
Read what the golf critics are saying about BALLS!: * THE GOLF COLLECTORS SOCIETY BULLETIN - 3/2001 Gail W. Braman has written BALLS! (Confessions of a Rural Golf Course Owner). This is the story of the insanely odd and crazy people who frequent a nine-hole golf course beside Route 100 in Rochester, Vermont. The stories are so nearly unbelievable that one would think that the book is fiction, but I can personally vouch for the authenticity because I lived just a few miles from the course and have heard the inane questions and observed the outrageous behavior first hand... I have been hearing about this book for years and the fact that it is finally in print, despite the odds inherent in the publishing world, is a testament to the chutzpah and perseverance of Gail Braman. She owned the course, and as such interacted with the people, recorded her astute observations when it was all over and got it down on paper. You’ll enjoy the tale. -Bob Labbance, Editor * GOLF BUSINESS(Nat’l Golf Course Owners Assoc)- 2/2001 Gail Braman made the mistake of telling her recently retired husband that she didn’t want him home for lunch. So, he went out and purchased a nine-hole golf course in rural Rochester, Vermont. Braman captures this nine-year adventure as golf course owners. Through the pages of this account, you’re invited inside their world as inexperienced golf course owners, where you learn what really happens behind the scenes through humorous vignettes and anecdotes. * HEARTHSTONE REVIEW (Duly Noted) - 4/01 A little investment property in bucolic Vermont, a pleasant summer-time diversion. That was the plan anyway. Before opening day was flooded out. Before the backhoes cleaning up the debris inflicted further damage. Before the discouraging financial realities set in, running a remote homespun golf course overshadowed by two tony resorts (The Hertz and Avis to their little 9-hole Rent A Wreck). The claustrophic Vermont golf season didn´t help. Nor did the vagaries of New England weather, a shortage of tourist center bathrooms or characters straight from central casting. For nearly a decade it sure made life interesting for Herb and Gail Braman.
