David Carter likes golf the way he likes everything else: counted, calculated, and completely under control.Then somebody puts a fifteenth club in his bag.David has come to the Marsh Point Invitational expecting three days of competitive golf, an expensive hotel, and exactly fourteen clubs. Instead, he gets a rules violation, a mystery he can't quite explain, and Amy—a school golf coach who seems considerably less interested in his careful calculations than in the man making them.Amy has spent plenty of time in Florida. That doesn't mean she's ever really stopped to look at it.With her golf team away for the weekend, she gives herself something she rarely gets: a day that belongs entirely to her. She heads into the Everglades, buys a cheap pair of binoculars, discovers she apparently cares about birds, and decides that for once she isn't going to be responsible for anybody.Then she meets David.David is a complication.As the tournament unfolds, the golf gets stranger, the stakes get higher, and David begins to suspect that what happened to his bag wasn't an accident. Somewhere between sawgrass and fairways, alligators and scorecards, casino bets and one spectacularly sweaty public disaster, two people who weren't looking for each other discover that some things can't be measured at all.Funny, warm, and just mysterious enough to keep the pages turning, Swamp Grass is a romantic comedy about golf, friendship, and the unexpected places life takes you when you stop trying to control the score.Set against the wild beauty of Everglades National Park, Swamp Grass is part of Richard Carter's National Park Series of standalone novels. Each book is a complete story and can be read in any order. Read more
