SHANKS FOR NOTHING, A NOVEL is the hilarious follow-up to Rick Reilly's bestselling MISSING LINKS. Protagonist Ray “Stick” Hart and his colorful golfing buddies return only to find that Ponky’s cheapskate owner, Froghair, is selling out. Rather than watch their beloved course be paved into a parking lot, the guys put their heads together to see if their “happy place”—where there are “five bets riding on every shot, cold ninety-five cent beer anytime you wanted, and hilarious guys who didn’t want to tell you how their Google stock is doing every day”—can’t be saved by a little foolhardy betting with some Russian mobsters.
