Licensed to...

I was wondering about male characters for my new book, and the idea of James Bond came to mind.


It got me thinking: Did you ever notice James Bond has no friends? Not one.


Then again, James Bond is licensed to kill.
And James Bond likes to play golf. Maybe a friend took way too long to line up a putt.
Bang!

​

How about this:
Maybe another playing partner, Nigel Haversham, who Bond has discovered is a double agent, was standing next to the 150 yard marker, but made a big deal about using his electronic range finder-and took his sweet time doing so.
Bang! Bang!

​(okay-I know it's more like Thump! Thump! because 007 always uses a silencer)

Bond might finish the round, go to the clubhouse bar and have a martini.
The bartender would ask: "Where is Nigel Haversham sir?"
Bond would say: "Finally he's under par...six feet under."

Cue the James Bond Theme Music, and cut to a shot from a helicopter of Bond driving an Aston Martin convertible on a twisty road.

BREAKING NEWS: THAT WOULD MAKE A GREAT OPENING SCENE IN THE NEXT BOND MOVIE.

That leads me to a recent podcast I was on. It took me a while to get booked on the very popular golf podcast, my appearance will be released in late March. The books discussed were Hit Your Second Shot First, and The 10 Greatest Golfers of All Time.

The interviewer had read the books, which is not always the case for a podcast. But he was a very serious golfer, and obviously didn't think all my stuff was funny. For example: He wasn't keen on the idea of being allowed to beat a fellow golfer to death with your putter.

I told him Hit Your Second Shot First wasn't for everybody, but The 10 Greatest Golfers of All Time appeals to a broader audience.

​We'll see how it comes out. If the podcast is entertaining, I'll give you a link.

The 10 Greatest Golfers of All Time is getting some recent interest
