Voodoo Ball by Chris Mortensen Inc. - A Madcap Golf Adventure

Escape Into a Golf-Driven, Screwball World

Voodoo Ball invites you to an offbeat universe where a simple lie spirals into a surreal odyssey. Charley Cotter declares a business trip to San Diego, only to vanish with friends for a golf spree in Palm Springs. A wind-turbine field, an electrical storm, and a plane crash collide with a town that suddenly breathes golf. When Charley returns home, he discovers a place transformed: a citywide fixation on swings, drives, and putts, where the nightlife hums with night-golfers, called snoggers, and routines lose their old rhythm. The premise sets the stage for a ride that blends farce with curiosity, and a sense that anything could happen around the next bend on the fairway of life.

To restore what he’s lost, Charley must navigate a world where his wife has shifted in unexpected ways, and where reclaiming the ordinary feels almost impossible. The challenge escalates into an overland golf match against the world’s number one player, a contest that promises suspense, humor, and a few surprising twists along the way. The narrative balances quick wit with a touch of whimsy, inviting readers to imagine how ambition, love, and a clever plan can collide in the most unlikely arenas.
