It was a nine-hole ladies league these four women had joined because of the game, and because of their personal agendas. None of them had any idea what was going to await them either on or off the golf course. Beverly and Jill had known each other in college. They were surprised to find each other thirty years later. Both of them had become widows and were struggling to regain purpose, strength and identity. Diane found herself not any longer being needed as a wife and mother. She knew she was at a cross roads in her life, and her friend Beverly told her she should join the golf group. She had never played the game before, but was certain because of her basic athletic ability that she would not have any difficulty picking up the sport. Joanna was a strong, independent woman who commanded the respect of both men and women. She had left the County Prosecution office to start her own law firm. She had aided both Jill and Beverly with cases against the county and the state, bringing victory to both of them. None of them realized on the first day of league play how inextricably their lives would be woven together. None of them knew how deep their friendships would grow.
