Rooted in humor, irony, and truth-based fiction, Three Angry Foursomes follows a dozen men chasing a two-inch ball across a four-hundred-yard obstacle course toward an impossibly small five-inch hole — partially blocked by a flagstick. It’s a story about the search for meaning, redemption, relevance, and the elusive par, all played out on a desert course as merciless as the game itself.

Now, after Fern has taken a turn for the worse, her three old friends decide that it’s finally time to strike back—in secret, of course, since Fern is far too gentle to approve of a vendetta.
