Gator's Haven: is Florida's Funniest Hometown Dave Gipe

Publisher Marketing: The yarns in this book come with fair warning: They are likely to make you laugh aloud - sometimes when you least expect it. So please, please, don't read this book in a public setting where you could easily become an object of ridicule and shame because you dare to laugh in the face of something so serious as day-to-day life. Gator's Haven is Florida's Funniest Hometown, is a collection of short stories aimed squarely at the funny side of living. They take place in one of those special communities reserved for various species of senior citizens - including baby boomers, geezers, and other wizened, and wise, gray heads. Can Charley and Cap overcome serious disadvantages to win their tournament match? The answer will have you stifling a chuckle all the way to the eighteenth green. Will Maggie and Elaine be able to outlast their opponents on the pickleball court? Will the latest golf gadget do more harm than good? Can the Super Seniors League change the rules of golf just because they want to? Can a simple shopping trip turn into a serious competition? The answers to these questions and others will have you laughing all the way to the end and wishing there were more stories to follow. Life seems much better when we're able to laugh at ourselves and keep the insane world we occupy in proper perspective. Humor is the catalyst that creates perspective out of ordinary situations. This little book may do just that for you. If so, watch for Book 2 of The Village Series.
