About the Book

Meet waiter Jake Woodson as he takes you inside the Clubhouse of a legendary golf club whose original members altered the political and financial landscape of modern America. Caddy Trace Franklin will show you the Course and give you some hints to playing the most famous hole in golf, the par 3 #16. This is the Club of Clubs! The schmoozing of Eisenhower. The maneuvering of Nixon. The canonization of Reagan. All engineered out this Club by its members. What happened to this major political player in terms of golf clubs leading up to Trump? Take a three day contest out on the links with retired Corporate mogul Randall Rector Jr. and his brother in law Paul Davis. Almost a hundred years of Club membership between them. Have dinner in the Clubhouse perched on Jake's shoulder as he attends to the needs of former Secretaries of State and all manner of grand Republican poobahs and even a few closeted Democrats. This is the weekend of the annual Rector Corp. Duck Dinner at the Club. The Corp. represents the smooth arc of increased profits from US Govt contractors since the '50s. Paul Davis also retired is a legal finance guy who married Rector's sister and has been playing at the Club since he was a kid and his mother was a widowed member. Waiter Jake Woodson is not a golfer, but he is a student of politics and finance. He knows nothing of the Club when he starts just after 9/11. But by 2016 he has come to learn the extent and range of the prestige and power behind the Club membership. As the election nears the shock of what's to come along with fear of how the Club has changed him begins to dawn. Out on the golf Course, caddy Trace Franklin carries for Rector and his brother-in-law over the weekend as they reminisce about visits to the Club by Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. Meet Secretaries of State, Ambassadors and Business legends, all members of this the most exclusive golf club in the world. Learn about the "grass ceiling", the "three-six-three" boys, the holy trifecta: Educate. Legislate. Reap the profits! This is where the top one percent golfs, the Club they most adore. The main character is the Club itself. From its breath-taking location on a spit of California coast to its founding by the legendary Sam Morse, inventor of the modern golf course estate, this is the Club. The Club of which everyone has heard, but no one talks about. This is a behind-the-scenes account of the Club which has always served as the command center for finance and politics in America---all the way up until August of 2016 and the candidacy of Donald Trump. Super-secret! Super-private! This is the one club on earth which might have been able to prevent the advent of Trump. Filled with outrageous golfing stories of playing at the Point and hanging in the Clubhouse, the humor of the game itself and its idiosyncrasies does not escape scrutiny. Full of golf humor as well, as Jake describes most of his split-shift workdays, "We laughed all morning, then we came back and laughed all night." Or as caddy Trace Franklin describes the weekend, "Great weather! Great golf! Great money! My life is unbeatable!"
