Carry the hazard or layup? Carry!

As a side note, I grew up in and around Robinson, IL and my mom worked at the country club they used to have the Robinson Open at. Even if I don't win I'll still pick this book up, seems like a good story.

That also sounds like an episode of Cold Case.

I want to let everyone know I have been contacting the Publisher's Print Campaign Manager for the last week about when the books will ship.  She got back to me and let me know that, the books have not yet gone out but they will shortly.  She is still working with the author on the best/quickest way to get each of them a copy.

I will let all of you know once they’ve been shipped.  Sorry for the delay
