The Story
A golf course isn’t just for golfers. This story is a must read for any golfer, lover of nature or anyone who knows one. A beautifully illustrated bedtime story that will not only captivate little ones, but also give a comical sting to most golfers who will see themselves somewhere in Corvette T. Pinecone VII’s observations about the world of the Whacks, and all the other creatures you’ll encounter on any golf course.
Corvette is the patriarch of a family of grey squirrels who have lived on the grounds of Royal Greendale (the Green) for generations. Each year as spring rolls around, Corvette and his wife Gertie know that for this year’s litter of babies, they only have a tight window of time in which to impart upon them the wisdom of life on the Green.
Full time creatures big and small, part-timers, migrators, friends, danger and most interesting, the world of the Whack. Whacks are creatures who are obsessed with this game they call Golf, and who struggle mightily to master the game they can never ever quite figure out. Golfers of all levels will see themselves and probably some of their partners somewhere in this tale.

About the Author
Michael Dukes has spent more than 30 years in the corporate world as a CPA, consultant, investigator, advisor, and mentor. Having lived most of his life on or around golf courses, and having played the game since his youth, his appreciation extends far beyond the game itself.
Now empty nesters, Dukes and his wife Mimi have raised three children and recently welcomed their first grandchild. Together they enjoy reflecting on how the parenting experience goes by in a flash- never really giving you enough time to fully impart your instinctive parental wisdom.
