Nine stories, sprawled out like nine holes. Always the same, but always different. As with the temperature, wind, and visibility, the leaves and the grass. So it is with the golfer, the reader. Young and old. Happy and sad. Looking forward, looking back... nine chances. Places to seek, alone or together, with friends, family, ghosts and strangers. Success and failure. Love and loneliness. Birdies and bogeys, lies and truth, but always ourselves.

What if Jesus Christ showed up for a round of twilight? What will the last golf match on Earth be like? These and other questions are answered in NINE UNDER PAR, Tim Miller's first collection of golf-themed short stories.
