* Author’s Note: I encourage you to read the book in order and not jump ahead to the JAG Formula, for example. I try to present relationship information in a way that will make absorbable sense, so it is more meaningful to you. The book is divided into two parts. The "Golf Gimmes" are golf stories, and the "Hole Numbers" are relationship-focused chapters. Please read them in order for the maximum benefit.
