In the ritzy circles of Atlanta’s Pine Meadows Country Club, golf is a mistress worshiped by many of the club’s high rollers. Spare time equates to tee times for these affluent pretty boys.
Their “golf widows” are another story entirely.
Pine Meadows bartender Cass Cassidy unsuccessfully tried to seduce his first golf widow as a teenager while working at a Savannah country club. In the decade since, he has perfected his techniques, no matter the age, shape, background or bra size of the women he seeks. Over mimosas and cosmopolitans, they chattered about their Louis Vuitton purses, designer jewelry, and who among them has had work done, all the banter masking their boredom. Cass has the looks and the bold confidence to make them forget their boredom - and their husbands.
Golf Widows is a sexy, often humorous, odyssey for those who savor the guilty pleasures of high-society intrigue, lust, and hot-blooded mystique among the Atlanta country club set.
