## Snapshot

## Who they are

Peter Willard and James Todd are the club's most devoted and least talented pair, bound by a friendship so inevitable it rivals ham and eggs. They play from dawn to dusk, ring the office to skip work, and read golf books by lamplight. When both fall in love with Grace Forrester, Peter's quiet rivalry with James tests whether their bond can survive the intrusion of romance.
