Phuket, Let's Golf

Twelve mates. One week. Zero self-control.

Phuket, Let's Golf is a riotous comedy of midlife mischief, lifelong friendship, and the fine art of losing golf balls in paradise. Bruce and his band of weary golf buddies are sick of the Yorkshire rain, soggy fairways, and the daily grind of work, family, and responsibility. Their solution? A once-in-a-lifetime escape to Thailand - where the sun is hot, the beer is cold, and the possibilities are as endless as the hangovers. This isn't just a golf holiday. It's the holiday they didn't even know they needed.

The Setup

What begins as a simple plan - a few rounds of golf, a bit of relaxation, and some quality time with old friends - quickly spirals out of control. World-class courses by day are only the warm-up. By night, the lads tumble headlong into neon chaos, karaoke disasters, suspiciously "wellness-themed" retreats, and WhatsApp messages they desperately hope their wives never see.

The Crew

It's not just the Yorkshire boys making the trip. Reinforcements arrive from all corners of the world:

• Stu, flying in from Hong Kong with his trademark bravado.
• Josh, a Dubai finance wizard who hasn't carried his own clubs in a decade.
• Pete, already embedded in Phuket's expat scene, lining up tee times and nightlife with equal precision.

Together with Bruce, John, Steve, Eric, Craig, Bernard, and the rest of the motley crew, they form a band of middle-aged warriors clinging to youth, dignity, and their handicaps - though not necessarily in that order.

The Challenge

Of course, the golf is only part of the story. Back home, marriages are strained, mums are meddling from afar, and at least one man is sneaking away under the pretense of a "spiritual retreat." In Phuket, the temptations are stronger than a double Chang beer, and the risks to their reputations (and their relationships) grow with every questionable decision.

And yet, beneath the hangovers and hazards lies something deeper. Every round of golf, every laugh, every chaotic night out reminds them that what truly matters isn't the scorecard - it's the bonds of loyalty, laughter, and lifelong friendship that carry them through.

The Ride

Expect:

• Soggy starts in Yorkshire and sun-drenched fairways in Thailand.
• Beer-fueled karaoke nights that should never hit social media.
• Golf shots so wild they threaten local wildlife.
• Wives, girlfriends, and even mums keeping tabs from thousands of miles away.
• Secrets, scandals, and more than one "you had to be there" story.

From the first tee to the final hangover, Phuket, Let's Golf delivers a laugh-out-loud, heart-warming journey that will strike a chord with anyone who's ever dreamed of escaping responsibility for just one perfect week. Outrageous, heartfelt, and alarmingly relatable, this is more than just a comic novel about golf - it's a reminder that sometimes the real handicap is life itself.

Fore Friendship. Fore Mayhem. Fore Life.
