As someone who doesn't work for Mr. Ross (see Barbara Milbourne and that first Sarah up there), or someone who hasn't received a free copy of this book and traded links with Mr. Ross (Sherry), I can give a more objective viewpoint of this book, I think.

First, I will share a few passages (which can be found on Mr. Ross's own website, so I'm not abusing privilege here):

Tuey’s Course is the 3rd novel in James Ross’ series of 3 that showcase the human spirit, flaws, resilience and frailties using a golf course as a backdrop and plot enhancer. I have already registered my opinion on Ross’ first 2 novels; Lifetime Loser and The Finish Line.

In Tuey’s Course, Ross ratchets up the heat and widens the gap between the haves and have-nots, shining a glaring light on a wider-than-you’d imagine ring of greed, power, and hy More...

Tuey's Course by James Ross is the third of the Prairie Winds Golf Course series. It, though, has little to do with golf (and could use some more).

Tuey is a down and out African American man living in the inner city. He feels he is being targeted by a ruthless cop who is regularly fining him and his business for things that other businesses seem to get away with. When he can't get a fair hearing or even a sympathetic ear, he's driven to extreme measures.
